She claimed that her husband [[Krishnanand Rai]] was allegedly murdered by [[Mukhtar Ansari]] but later in 2019 [[Mukhtar Ansari]] was found not guilty.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.rediff.com/news/report/mukhtar-ansari-let-off-in-2005-murder-case-of-bjp-mla/20190703.htm, Ansaris acquitted in Krishnanand Rai murder case]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/ansaris-acquitted-in-mla-murder-case/article28276196.ece, Ansaris found not guilty in 2005 MLA murder case]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The person she defeated in the elections was Ansari&amp;#039;s brother.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/uttar-pradesh-election-alka-rai-jail-minister-mukhtar-ansari/1/905115.html|title=UP: Alka Rai, widow of murdered MLA, could become states jail minister|access-date=19 May 2017}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; However this is not the first victory of Alka Rai in an assembly election. She defeated her rival in the bu-poll of year 2005, when her husband was shot dead. In the by-poll of 2005 no one from Ansari family contested the election. However they pitched Sri Krishan urf Gama Ram in the contest and supported him. Krisan Kumar was defeated by Alka Rai with a margin of 33,744 votes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.elections.in/uttar-pradesh/assembly-constituencies/mohammadabad.html|title=Sitting and previous MLAs from Mohammadabad Assembly Constituency}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
