Following the burial of Mukhtar Ansari in his ancestral village in Ghazipur, his son Umar Ansari accused Brijesh Singh of serious charges in an exclusive conversation with Aaj Tak. He expressed his firm belief in the courts and awaited the investigation report, claiming the truth about his father's death will be revealed.
Umar Ansari expressed his grief in not being able to save his father, alleging a conspiracy that even prevented his brother from attending the funeral. According to Umar, the incident was orchestrated to prevent Mukhtar Ansari from testifying against Brijesh Singh, who he claims enjoys protection from the government and administration.

In a debate on those who attended the funeral procession, Umar mentioned a large crowd that gathered. Despite requests for people to refrain from attending, many couldn't hold back their emotions. He doesn't anticipate any legal consequences for the turnout, considering the emotional nature of the situation. The funeral saw a massive turnout of Mukhtar’s supporters, though outsiders were not permitted to participate in the burial ceremony within the cemetery - an allowance made only for family members. The Ghazipur district magistrate and senior administration officials were present at the scene, regulating the crowd's entry to the cemetery.
Commenting on the opposition leaders' support in the matter, Umar mentioned the changing political tides since India's independence. He awaits March 19, when the truth, he believes, will emerge, with both the court of law and the court of the almighty delivering justice.
