Varanasi: In a major action initiated against jailed muscleman, MLA Vijay Mishra, the Bhadohi administration and police on Friday ensured demolition of the boundary wall on around a two-and-a-half bigha land, which was the property of Navdhan village gram sabha in Gyanpur area.
SP (Bhadohi) RB Singh said, “A joint team of administration, police and land revenue department demolished the boundary wall of two-and-a-half bigha (6000 sq mt) land of the gram sabha, which was illegally captured by Mishra. The land was returned to the gram sabha. The cost of the property is over Rs 5 crore.”
Action was initiated after the court of tehsildar Gyanpur gave its decision in the case of land grabbing by Mishra, said officials.
Vijay Mishra is in Agra jail following his arrest in Madhya Pradesh on August 14 in a case lodged by his relative Krishna Kanth Tiwari against him, his wife, MLC Ramlali Mishra and son Vishnu, at Gopiganj police station on August 8. Tiwari had alleged that the trio forcibly got his property registered in their name. While Ramlali and Vishnu are absconding, order for attaching their property had already been issued by the court. His property in Prayagraj had also been targeted.
On November 18, Mishra was brought to Mirzapur from Agra jail to produce him before the CJM court in a case of issuing treat to a priest of Vidhyachal for extortion. Before the fresh series of criminal cases filed against him and his family members, Mishra already had 71 criminal cases against him, and 10 cases pending in MP/MLA court.
