Mukhtar did not make any demand and urged to allow him take bath and sleep. Mobile phones are not allowed. Family too has been denied permission to meet owing to Coronavirus measures. 

Acting on a March 26 Supreme Court order, the UP police took custody of the BSP MLA at Rupnagar jail on Tuesday and brought him  to the Uttar Pradesh prison to face trials. The Convoy of UP Police, which included four cars and an ambulance, slowed down near Kanpur Dehat due to a jam by stray animal. Before arriving the Banda jail, the convoy stopped for sometime in Satti police station area.

News agency PTI quoted SO of Satti police station Kapil Dubey saying, "Mukhtar used toilet in the Satti police station premises to attend nature''s call. He stayed inside the police station for almost 5 minutes."

According to reports, around 50 cases are registered against Ansari in Uttar Pradesh and other states. 

The apex court had said it was being denied on trivial grounds under the guise of medical issues, adding that a convict or an under-trial prisoner, who disobeys the law of the land, cannot oppose his transfer from one prison to another.
