SP tweets list of criminals’, claims gangsters belonging to Yogi’s caste active in UP

[ad_1]
Lucknow: The Samajwadi Party on Friday came up with a list of alleged criminals claiming that they are “still alive, committing crime and running gangs” as they all belong to the same caste as Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.
The SP also alleged that it was the BJP people who got Umesh Pal, a key witness in the 2005 killing of then Bahujan Samaj Party legislator Raju Pal, murdered.
In a tweet in Hindi, the media cell of the Samajwadi Party, said, “The murder of Umesh Pal has been done by the BJP people. The BJP may have got an immediate opportunity to polarise the votes in the (ongoing) urban local bodies’ elections and to (indulge in) communal frenzy, on the pretext of this murder. But, any BJP leader, no matter how big he is, will not be spared.”

The SP “list” comes a day after gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad and his accomplice, accused in the Umesh Pal murder case, were gunned down in a shootout with the Uttar Pradesh Police, which the party alleged was a fake encounter.
The list of alleged criminals with a claimed number of cases includes names of Kuldeep Singh Sengar (Unnao, 28 cases), Brijesh Singh (Varanasi, 106 cases), Dhananjay Singh (Jaunpur, 46 cases), Raja Bhaiyya (Raghuraj Pratap Singh) (Pratapgarh, 31 cases), among others.
Referring to the list, the media cell of the Samajwadi Party, in a tweet in Hindi, said, “Are they special to Yogi? Actually, they all belong to the same caste as that of Yogi, hence, they are still alive, committing crime, running the gangs and indulging in murder, rape, loot, dacoity and extortion.”
The party also added a note in the tweet saying “the list is old, but most of the criminals in it are BJP-supported and are active”
In another tweet, the SP’s media cell said that the alleged encounter will be probed one day and the truth will be revealed.

The party also referred to the allegation made by Atiq Ahmad’s sister Ayesha Noori last month that Prayagraj Mayor Abhilasha Gupta Nandi had conspired to kill Umesh Pal.
According to the allegation, this was done so that the gagster-politician’s wife Shaista Parveen would not be able to contest the next mayoral election.
Reacting to the allegations levelled on him, Nandi in a tweet in Hindi had said, “The baseless allegations are only an unsuccessful attempt to divert attention from the main issue and mislead….Linking this with the mayoral elections is not only irrelevant but also laughable,” he said in another tweet.
In another tweet, the SP said, “Yogi Adityanath was very happy with Atiq Ahmad in the Phulpur Lok Sabha by-election (in 2018). Atiq was helping the BJP and the party was helping him.
“A minister in the Yogi government borrowed money from Atiq’s family and to do away with him, Nand Gopal Gupta ‘Nandi’ took the support of the government in a bid to grab the borrowed money/partnership,” the tweet read.
Umesh Pal and his two police security guards were shot dead on February 24 outside his home in Prayagraj’s Dhoomanganj.
Based on a complaint lodged by Umesh Pal’s wife Jaya Pal, a case was registered on February 25 against Atiq Ahmad, his brother Ashraf, Parveen, two sons, aides Guddu Muslim and Ghulam, and nine others.
On March 28, an MP/MLA court held Atiq Ahmad and two others guilty in the 2006 Umesh Pal kidnapping case and sentenced them to life imprisonment. That was Ahmad’s first conviction even though more than 100 cases have been registered against him.
The 60-year-old former Samajwadi Party MP was brought from Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat by road for a hearing in the case in Prayagraj.
In 2006, Atiq Ahmad and his aides abducted Umesh Pal and forced him to give a statement in court in their favour. Umesh Pal had registered a complaint in this regard.

7 gangsters booked after two Moosewala murder accused die in jail fight

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Seven prison inmates were booked Monday after two men held in connection with the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala were killed in a gang fight at Goindwal Sahib Central Jail in Punjab’s Tarn Taran, police said.
Another inmate, also allegedly involved in the singer’s murder last year, was injured in the clash Sunday between the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria and the Lawrence Bishnoi gangs.
Both gang leaders are already in jail, booked in connection with the Moosewala murder and other cases.
Iron strips were among the objects used as gang members clashed.
Mandeep Singh alias Toofan of Batala and Manmohan Singh alias Mohna, a resident of Budhlada were killed, police said. The third man, Keshav, was seriously injured.
The FIR named seven jail inmates — Manpreet Singh Bhau, Sachin Bhiwani, Ankit Sirsa, Kashish, Rajinder, Arshad Khan and Malkit Singh.
Five of them, including Ankit and Kashish — who are described as “shooters” — were in jail in connection with the Moosewala murder on May 29 last year.
Mandeep Singh alias Toofan, Manmohan Singh alias Mohna, Keshav, Manpreet Singh, Charanjit Singh and Nirmal Singh had gone to the jail’s block number 1 where the others gangsters were lodged, according to the FIR.

After the fight, Toofan and Mohna were declared brought dead at the Tarn Taran Civil Hospital. Keshav was admitted there.
Police are investigating what triggered the clash between the two groups.
Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Mansa district last year.
As he and two others were driving to Jawahar Ke village, their jeep was intercepted and six men opened fire.
Goldy Brar, who is a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, later claimed responsibility for the murder.
The men booked after Sunday’s clash have been charged under sections 302 (murder) and 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code.

NIA raids over 70 locations linked to Bishnoi, Bawana, other gangsters

[ad_1]
New Delhi: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Tuesday conducted raids across the country at more than 70 locations belonging to gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Neeraj Bawana and their aides.
The raids were conducted in Delhi-NCR, Rajasthan, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Chandigarh and Uttar Pradesh.
An official said that in a major crackdown on gangsters, working in tandem with terrorist groups and drug smugglers based in foreign countries including Pakistan and Canada, the NIA conducted raids at 76 locations across eight states and seized a large cache of arms and ammunition and cash of Rs 2.5 crore.
The NIA officials said that the raids were conducted on the basis of the three separate FIRs lodged by them.
“Three cases have been registered by the NIA since August 2022 and several people, including some Kabbadi players were identified and booked for their alleged involvement in terror and other criminal activities, including targeted hits and extortion from leading businessmen and professionals,” an official said.
The investigation has revealed that conspiracies for several such crimes, including the sensational killing of Maharashtra builder, Sanjay Biyani, and Sandeep Nangal Ambia, an international Kabbadi player, were being hatched in jails of different states and were being executed by an organised network of operatives based abroad, the official added.
The official said the NIA conducted raids in connection with the matter for the fifth time.
The official said that raids were focused on arms suppliers and Hawala operators working with these gangs.

“We have recovered 9 illegal weapons, including pistols, revolvers and rifles, and Rs 1.5 crore in cash. Incriminating materials, including documents, hard drives and mobile phones, were also seized,” the official said.
The official said that searches were conducted at the premises of Lakhvir Singh of Gidderbaha at Muktsar, Naresh at Abohar, Surender a.k.a. Cheeku at Narnaul in Haryana, Kaushal Choudhary and Amit Dagar at Gurugram and Sunil Rathi at Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh.
The official said that apart from them, some Hawala operators, kabaddi players, weapon suppliers, gun houses, businessmen and their alleged financers, were also raided.
“The investigation has established that many criminals, who were leading gangsters in India, had later fled to Pakistan, Canada, Malaysia and Australia. But they were in touch with criminals lodged in different jails in India. These groups were carrying out targeted killings and raising funds for their nefarious activities through smuggling of drugs and weapons, hawala and extortion,” the NIA said.
