Varanasi: In a major revelation tonight on Rajat Sharma's Aaj Ki Baat on India TV, Ajay Rai, the Congress candidate fielded against BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, has been accused of buying AK-47 rifles

The report mentions how Mohammed Shahbuddin had met underworld don Dawood Ibrahim in 2001 during Haj, and the network of criminals in eastern UP and Bihar extended to neighbouring Nepal and other countries.

In his report, D P Ojha had mentioned the names of 24 criminals on Page Number 32.

Dawood Ibrahim's name featured on the 12th, followed by Mukhtar Ansari, charged of killing Ajay Rai's brother Avadhesh Rai and former BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai. Mukhtar Ansari this time has left the poll fray in favour of AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal.
