Prayagraj authorities have initiated legal action against four associates linked to the late mafia figure Atiq Ahmed on charges of coercing a fourth-class laborer, who Atiq had purportedly enlisted to purchase properties worth millions of rupees, to transfer ownership of the said properties.
The individuals named in the case are Javed Khan, Kamran Khan, Faraz Ahmed Khan, and Shahnaz Khan.
Reports indicate that Atiq Ahmed had acquired properties under false names, with Shyamji Saroj, a resident of Nawabganj and a former employee of the mafia don, listed as the nominal owner. These properties, valued at crores of rupees, are documented in official revenue records. The accused quartet allegedly exerted pressure on Shyamji Saroj to transfer the properties into their possession.
Upon receiving a complaint from the victim, law enforcement authorities initiated prompt action.
Further updates on this matter are anticipated.
