62-Yr-Old Mafia Don Marries After Spending 17 Yrs in Jail in Bihar

Patna: Ashok Mahto, a 62-year-old mafia don, who came out of jail in December 2023 after 17 years in jail, married 46-year-old Kumari Anita on Tuesday night at a temple in Patna district, reported The Telegraph.

Mahto’s associates came to the wedding ceremony in around 50 SUVs.

Mahto wants to satisfy his political ambition by fielding from the Munger Lok Sabha constituency while he would shadow contest the polls. Because of his conviction, he cannot contest in any election.

Mahto’s wife Anita is a law graduate and was working in a private firm in Delhi. The newlywed couple visited RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday to take his blessings.

Sources close to Mahto say, Lalu Prasad suggested that he should get married and step into state politics with his wife as a prop.

“I got married due to people’s wishes. I felt their love and support after coming out of jail. I cannot contest in the polls but will field my wife from Munger,” Mahto said.
