Mansa, July 12: Shahbaz Ansari, accused of supplying weapons in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, has absconded once again. Ansari, who was arrested from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh in December 2022, is accused of supplying arms and ammunition to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
In February 2023, the court granted him interim bail for 5 days citing his wife’s pregnancy, but he violated the conditions and did not appear in court. Later, he filed bail petitions several times, but they kept getting rejected due to objections from the NIA.
Last month, he again took interim bail citing his wife’s surgery and this time too, he absconded as soon as he came out.
Ansari’s location was not found, his phone was also switched off
According to the NIA, Ansari’s location is not traceable. His mobile phone is switched off and the number he was in contact with was found registered in the name of a person from Assam. The NIA told the court that he is no longer living at the Ghaziabad address he had given to the court.
According to the NIA report, many weapons were recovered from him at the time of his arrest. He used to deal in weapons for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang frequently and earn lakhs of rupees through hawala. Investigation revealed that the person who gave him bail had also agreed to give his guarantee in exchange for money.
Police and NIA are searching for Ansari
According to the information received, the NIA filed an application in the court and got his bail cancelled on July 8, but Ansari did not appear in the court despite receiving the notice. His lawyer also told the court that he did not know the whereabouts of his client. At present, the police and the NIA are raiding possible hideouts to arrest him and the process of issuing a non-bailable warrant against him has begun.
