NEW DELHI: Gangster Atiq Ahmad is reported to own multiple properties worth crores in Delhi, according to TV reports. These properties include residential as well as commercial real estate, such as apartments, office spaces, located in Shaheen Bagh, Okhla and Jamia Nagar.
Atiq's real estate holdings in Delhi are estimated to be worth several crores.
Now, the million-dollar question is who will look after the gangster's ill-gotten empire worth crores in multiple states.
Based on the crackdown on the 'illegal' properties of Atiq and his henchmen, UP police have compiled records of assets in UP's Prayagraj, Kaushambi and other districts of the state.
Investigators are also now trying to decipher the total value of benami property that the gangster had in Noida and districts adjoining Prayagraj. There are speculations that those who are looking after Atiq's benami assets worth thousands of crores of rupees, may have to do something with the Saturday events as well.
Because of the repeated crackdown against Atiq by joint teams of police, district administration and revenue department, especially since 2018, Atiq and his henchmen had suffered a loss of over Rs 975 crore which had dented their economic empire.
Properties worth Rs 751 crore belonging to Atiq and his henchmen were demolished at 40 spots in the past. Police have attached or demolished properties in Civil Lines, Mehdauri, Kareli, Lukerganj, Andhawa Crossing Road, Roshan Bagh, Chakia, Jhalwa, Puramufti and Chail in the past four years.
