Nearly a month after the district administration sought details from local authorities on the properties and other assets of criminals booked under National Security Act, the administration is all set to attach these properties.
The district magistrate sent a preliminary list containing 48 properties to the police, asking them to initiate proceedings to attach them.
District magistrate BN Singh said the first list has been shared with the Noida police. “The first list of 48 properties and 26 vehicles registered in the names of gangsters being tried under NSA has been shared with the SSP, Gautum Budh Nagar. Eight bank accounts along with details of eight vehicles are also in the list,”
The administration had announced its decision to attach the properties of 566 gangsters and stop their financial transactions as part of a major crackdown on criminals. The action is supposed to be taken against 150 criminal gangs, including 566 persons who have been booked since May 1, 2017. Also included in the list are mafia men, builders involved in cheating, drug lords and cyber frauds, senior officials said. They are from all regions of the district including Noida and Greater Noida. Section 14 and 15 of the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986, enables the government to attach any “ill-gotten” property, both movable and immovable. The DM had written to all departments including local authorities (municipal), income tax, sales tax, sub-divisional magistrates, police station in charge, CDO and ARTO for relevant information. “We asked them to stop the financial transactions of these people and sought details within 15 days so that we can take further action against them,”
