Gangster & SP Leader Haji Raza’s Properties Worth ₹3 Cr Seized
The Uttar Pradesh Police has made another significant move against gangster and Samajwadi Party (SP) leader Haji Raza, seizing his properties worth a whopping ₹3 crore in Fatehpur. This is the second such action taken by the UP government in just 15 days, highlighting the authorities’ determination to bring Raza to book.
Earlier, the police had seized Raza’s properties worth ₹2 crore, a move that sent shockwaves through the criminal underworld. The latest seizure is a testament to the authorities’ relentless pursuit of Raza, who is accused in over 24 cases.
The seizure was carried out by a team of police officials led by the Fatehpur Superintendent of Police (SP), in a joint operation with the local police and the Economic Offences Wing (EOW). The operation was conducted under the supervision of the Additional Director General of Police (ADG) of Lucknow Zone.
According to sources, the seized properties include several plots of land, buildings, and other assets, which are estimated to be worth approximately ₹3 crore. The properties were seized under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
The seizure was carried out after a thorough investigation and verification of documents, which revealed that Raza had amassed illegal wealth through criminal activities. The authorities had been monitoring Raza’s activities and gathering evidence for several months before taking the decision to seize his properties.
Raza, who is known for his close ties with the SP leadership, has been accused of being involved in various criminal activities, including extortion, murder, and drug trafficking. He has also been accused of using his political influence to evade law enforcement and protect his criminal empire.
The seizure of Raza’s properties is seen as a major blow to his criminal empire and a significant achievement for the UP Police. It is also a testament to the government’s commitment to tackling the menace of organized crime and corruption.
The police had been keeping a close eye on Raza’s activities after a series of incidents, including the murder of a businessman in Fatehpur, which was allegedly orchestrated by Raza. The police had also received several complaints from locals about Raza’s involvement in extortion and other criminal activities.
The seizure of Raza’s properties comes at a time when the UP government is under pressure to contain the growing menace of organized crime and corruption. The government has been taking several steps to strengthen the law enforcement agencies and crack down on criminal gangs.
The police operation to seize Raza’s properties was carried out with heavy deployment of police personnel in the area. The operation was conducted with the support of local residents, who had been complaining about Raza’s criminal activities for several years.
Raza’s properties were seized under various sections of the IPC and the PMLA, including sections related to criminal conspiracy, extortion, and money laundering. The authorities also seized several documents and records related to Raza’s business and financial transactions.
The seizure of Raza’s properties is seen as a major victory for the UP Police and a significant setback for Raza’s criminal empire. It is also a testament to the government’s commitment to tackling the menace of organized crime and corruption.
As the UP Police continues to crack down on criminal gangs and corrupt officials, the seizure of Raza’s properties is a significant milestone in the ongoing battle against organized crime and corruption. The authorities will now be looking to proceed with the legal process against Raza and his associates, with the aim of bringing them to justice and recovering the illegal wealth amassed by Raza.
