ATS investigates the house of gangsters,father rounded up
Nagpur updates:- Following a tip-off from their counterparts in Mumbai, the state’s anti-terrorist squad carried out search operations at gangster Ashu’s East Nagpur home, whose other properties, too, bore the brunt of the legal action. His boss, too, was being rounded up for questioning.
As part of the ongoing investigation, on Monday the ATS grilled the gangster’s father with rackets of fake money, weapons and even substances such as MD drugs in relation to his suspected connection.
Security agency sources said the latest action by the ATS against the gangster and his family kicked off after they tried to bail out an MD kingpin in Mumbai captured by celebrity cop Daya Nayak who is currently working with ATS. The agency had found a close link between the father of the MD racketeer and the Nagpur based gangster.
The gangster, arrested by the criminal branch in Nandanvan a few months ago for possessing firearms, is learned to have bought many properties in the last year, including the building of a bungalow.
Apart from other storylines, the gangster and his family also own three cars in prime locations. The guns discovered in the gangster’s hands are learned to have some government seal on them, but what action cops had taken to know the source is not known.
At least seven businessmen and a top politician from Akola lost more than Rs two crores on May 9 of last year through dubious action by Lakadganj police who had intercepted the car of the gangster’s father near Telephone Exchange chowk.
The gangster’s father promised the businessman and the politician that he would ‘manage’ the police and recover the cash. Earlier, the father of the gangster had started to threaten businessmen whenever they were going to ask back their cash.
A Lakadganj police station constable, now suspended in a different case, had carried out the so-called raid and cops took away the vehicle with the cash. One of the businessmen that the father of the gangster was going to threaten and harass anyone who had asked him for the money the cops took.
A few cops, including a senior PI as well, are likely to be part of the racket of fake raids as he went in search of one of the businessmen who had tried repeatedly to ask the gangster’s father for the cash.
The father of the gangster, who also has a case of fake note in Gadchiroli, will threaten the businessmen to involve them in fake cases and get cops to call them up and visit their places to harass them.
