Retired bank employee Subhash Srivastava has also been named as an accused.

The Muhammadabad Police on Sunday officially opened a history-sheet against Umar Ansari, the younger son of jailed mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari who is facing multiple criminal cases across various districts including Lucknow, Mau, Ghazipur, and Muhammadabad.
The incident, reportedly linked to the ill health of the SSP's mother, triggered a strong backlash from the medical community, leading to a temporary shutdown of OPD services on Thursday.
According to sources, investigators recovered a significant amount of cash from Ansari’s home. The sum was reportedly so large that authorities requisitioned currency counting machines from local banks.
