New Delhi: The troubles of Ansar, the alleged mastermind of the Jahangirpuri violence, seem to be increasing. Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana has written a letter to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) urging it to take action under PMLA against Ansar, the main accused in the Jahangirpuri violence case. The police are trying to find out from where the funding to Ansar was coming. According to the information, Delhi Police suspects that 38-year-old Ansar used to get money from abroad for the violence.

In view of this, the Delhi Police on Friday asked the ED to take action under the PMLA Act to investigate the properties and sources of income of Jahangirpuri communal violence mastermind Ansar Sheikh. Confirming this, the ED said that it has received a letter from Delhi Police, urging it to probe the funding specifically against Ansari in connection with the Jahangirpuri incident. ED is scrutinizing all the documents to register a case against the accused. According to media reports, a senior crime branch official has told on the condition of anonymity that Ansar has been found involved in receiving funding from abroad.

Ansar has a luxurious kothi in West Bengal's Haldia and gives a lot of money to the people of his community, the official said. We suspect that he often gets money from abroad to use it to create communal unrest in Delhi. We are also probing the links of this iron scrap dealer with terrorists and illegal Bangladeshi migrants as he allegedly has deep links with people from Bangladesh, Assam and Haldia in West Bengal. Thousands of Bangladeshis live in Jahangirpuri. Taking cognizance of the time and place of the incident, we cannot deny his links with anti-national elements.
