Property of Vikas financier Jaikant’s wife Shweta seized

Kanpur: The district and police authorities on Tuesday attached an immovable property of wife of gangster Jaikant Bajpai, alleged financier of slain gangster Vikas Dubey.
The move comes in view of the deaths of eight policemen including a Dy SP rank official in an encounter with henchmen of the dreaded gangster in Bikru village on July 2 & 3 night.
Police after lodging gangster cases, have been seizing moveable and immoveable properties of aides of Dubey, particularly his financier Jaikant Bajpai, and latter's three brothers Rajaikant, Ajaikant and Shobhit and are still finding more.
SSP Preetinder Singh had recently submitted a report and said that Jaikant Bajpai, his three brothers and others had amassed wealth by illegal activities following which the district magistrate ordered attachment of his multi-crore assets.
The property, which is in the form of agricultural land and in the name of Shweta, wife of Jaikant Bajpai, amounts to Rs 33 lakh. "During investigation, it came to fore that Jaikant's wife Shweta had 2.5 `biswa' of agricultural land worth Rs 33 lakh in her name. The authorities on Tuesday made seizure of the agricultural land located in Chowdharypurwa village of Billhaur," informed Inspector Armapur Ajit Kumar. "The accused have purchased immovable property by diverting the amount collected through illegal means," said the official further.
Earlier, on Monday, the authorities had also seized his vehicles Audi, Fortuner, and Verna parked on the premises of Kakadeo police station. These vehicles were abandoned by Jaikant and his aides in Kakadeo’s Vijay Nagar area soon after the Bikru ambush.
"Jaikant's apartment located in Aryanagar was also seized," said tehsildar Atul Kumar.
