LUCKNOW: A total 12 gangsters and their 29 aides have been convicted in different crimes between January 2021 and November 2022. Police seized their properties worth Rs 2,500 crore and booked 16 under the National Security Act (NSA).
This was made possible due to the setting-up of an anti-mafia task force (AMTF) – formed under the director general of police to crack down on gangsters and ensure that they get convicted in pending cases – on the directives of CM Yogi Adityanath.
