New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has attached five properties owned by members of the organised crime syndicates in Delhi and Haryana.
Four of the total properties attached are in Haryana and one in Delhi-- a move in continuation of NIA's offensive to dismantle the terrorist-gangster-drug smuggler network.
The properties attached include a house of Asif Khan in Delhi, a house and agricultural land in three different locations belonging to Surender Singh alias Chiku in the Mahendragarh district of Haryana.
NIA said these attachments and seizures have been done in the wake of the recent searches conducted at 76 locations linked with gangsters and their associates in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi/ NCR in February this year.
These properties have been seized in connection with NIA's probe in cases against three major organised crime syndicates under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in August 2022 who had spread their mafia-style criminal networks in the northern states and were involved in many sensational crimes, such as the murder of popular singer Sidhu Moosewala and largescale extortions from businessmen and professionals.
