Mittag-Leffler function is a natural generalization of the exponential function. Recent applications of Mittag-Leffler function have reshaped the scientific literature due to its fractional effects that cannot be obtained by using exponential function. Present motivation is to define a new special function by modification in the original gamma function with Mittag-Leffler function. Properties of this modified function are discussed by investigating a new series representation involving delta function. Hence, the results are also validated with the earlier obtained results for gamma function as special cases. Furthermore, the new function is used to generate a probability density function, and its statistical properties are explored. Similar properties of existing distributions can be deduced.
