Farrukhabad’s law enforcement struck hard at the heart of a criminal empire, confiscating assets exceeding ₹26 crore from gangster Zubair Khan in a meticulously planned raid. This bold move exemplifies Uttar Pradesh’s relentless war on organized crime syndicates thriving on deceit and corruption.
Hailing from Izzat Garhi, Zubair orchestrated a web of illegal operations, including massive frauds via forged documents and bogus GST registrations. The dirty money funded lavish benami purchases in his mother Rukhsana’s name, with zero traceable legitimate sources backing them up.
Key seizures encompass Zubair’s grand home in Gari Noor Khan, high-value godowns in Maursheedabad, and agricultural plots in Lakhanpur—totaling ₹26.51 crore in market estimation. Bank balances and a plush vehicle worth ₹70,000 fell under the hammer too.
The operation unfolded dramatically on Monday under Tehsildar Vikram Singh Chahar and Inspector Madan Mohan Chaturvedi’s command. Police arrived with fanfare, drums rolling as proclamations echoed through the locality, alerting residents to the state’s takeover.
Seals were slapped on buildings, notice boards installed, and legal details boldly inscribed. Chahar, now custodian, sealed the main house in Rukhsana’s presence after briefing her. The administration vows no mercy for crime-fueled fortunes, acting under Gangster Act provisions.
Zubair’s notorious lineage includes uncle Khalid ‘Rajju’ Khan, a dreaded figure with 20+ cases. The gang’s playbook—fake docs, GST scams, e-way frauds—has long been on radar, promising more such enforcements ahead to dismantle mafia networks.
