Vikas ‘aide’ grabs 1.5 biswa land, IG orders probe

Kanpur:A probe has been launched in connection with a land grabbing incident, wherein one Anjali Tiwari has given a written complaint to IG Kanpur range Mohit Agarwal apprising him about the grabbing of the 1.5 ‘biswa’ of agricultural land belonging to her father by a close aide of slain gangster Vikas Dubey.
Agarwal confirmed to TOI that he has received an application and ordered a probe by Circle Officer Billhaur.
Anjali is a resident of Basen village of Chaubeypur.
“We had 1.5 biswa of agricultural land. On August 30, a man, who claimed himself to be close with slain gangster Vikas Dubey, grabbed the land and threatened us of dire consequences,” Anjali stated in her complaint.
“When we approached local police, the police misbehaved with my brother Sonu and instead of acting as per the course of law, made him forcibly sign on a compromise paper in front of the one who had grabbed our land,” said Anjali while talking to reporters on Wednesday.
To recall, a team of the revenue department on July 13 had visited Bikru, the village of the gangster and recorded the statements of people who were deprived of their agricultural land allegedly by the gangster and his aides in the last two decades.
Villagers, who were victimised by the gangster, had stated that he was in the habit of terrorising and forcibly taking possession of the poor farmers agricultural land, which they had inherited from their ancestors.
