Atiq Ahmed’s Two Properties Valued at Rs 6 Crore Seized By Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj Police

Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed was assassinated in April 2023. ACP (Civil Lines) Shwetabh Pandey revealed that the plots were bought by Ahmed in the name of his acquaintance Shyamji Saroj. The plots measure about 1,344 square meters and are worth approximately Rs 6 crore.

According to Pandey, the attachment of immovable property acquired by Ahmed from the proceeds of crime has been done under Section 14(1) of the Gangster Act. As a result, a board has been installed at the location, and the inspector of Naini police station has been appointed as its administrator. On April 15 of the previous year, Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists while being escorted by police personnel to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.
