Farrukhabad, February 23: The Farrukhabad police have launched a significant crackdown against gangster Zubair Khan, seizing assets valued at over ₹26.51 crores. This action is part of the administration’s ‘zero tolerance’ policy against criminals and mafias.

Sources indicate that Zubair Khan, a resident of the nearby village Izzat Garhi, was operating an organized gang. Investigations revealed that he engaged in fraud, forged documents, and conducted illegal business through fake GST numbers, amassing millions.

To launder this black money, he purchased numerous properties in his mother Rukhsana’s name. No legitimate income sources were found for these assets. The total market value of the seized properties is estimated at ₹26,51,69,623. This includes Zubair’s large residential building in Garhi Noor Khan, commercial warehouses in Maurshidabad, and agricultural land in Lakhanpur.

Additionally, cash deposited in bank accounts and a luxury vehicle worth around ₹70,000 have also been confiscated.

On Monday, a heavy police force led by Tehsildar Vikram Singh Chahar and Inspector-in-Charge Madan Mohan Chaturvedi arrived in Garhi Noor Khan. The police announced the seizure publicly, using drums and trumpets to inform local residents.

The administration has sealed the houses and warehouses, posting government boards on them. Relevant case numbers and seizure orders have been painted on the walls. Tehsildar Kaimganj Vikram Singh Chahar has been appointed as the administrator for these properties. He informed Zubair’s mother, Rukhsana, about the action and sealed the house in her presence.

The administration warned that no property acquired through crime will be spared. This operation was conducted under Section 14(1) of the Gangster Act, and efforts against land mafias and criminals will continue in the future.

Gangster Zubair Khan is considered a notorious criminal. According to police records, his uncle Khalid, also known as Razzoo Khan, is a history-sheeter at the Fatehgarh police station, with nearly two dozen criminal cases registered against him across various police stations.

Furthermore, it is alleged that gang leader Zubair Khan has been involved in document forgery, generating fake GST numbers, and preparing e-way bills for financial and material gains. Previous information regarding these activities has also surfaced.
