LUCKNOW: Close on the heels of the police crackdown on Atiq Ahmed gang members and sympathisers after the Umesh Pal murder case, a team of Central Bureau of Investigation reached Kaushambi to collect the details of alleged ill-gotten property of Abdul Kavi, a known shooter associated with Atiq. Kavi is also an accused in BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case in 2005.
Sources said that inputs received through investigating agencies have revealed that Atiq, who is lodged in Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat, takes the help of his old trusted shooters in many incidents. Kavi has been out of police custody for the past 18 years.
Sources added that there are indications of his involvement in the Umesh Pal murder case too, after which bulldozers razed Kavi’s illegal house worth Rs 3 crore in Jamalpur Bhakhanda of Kaushambi district.
A two-member CBI investigation team reached Manjhanpur tehsil of Kaushambi district to collect details of properties worth crores acquired illegally by Kavi’s close aides. CBI action lasted for approximately three hours. The Umesh Pal murder case is also connected in one way or the other with the former BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case in Prayagraj 18 years ago.
“To investigate these connections, the investigation team of CBI reached Manjhanpur tehsil of Kaushambi. Two officers from Delhi in the team also met Tehsildar Bhupal Singh for about two and a half hours. According to the information, many questions were asked about Abdul Kavi, who was the shooter of Atiq. The CBI has also gathered information about the revenue record of the movable and immovable property of Kavi’s family,” said the sources privy to the probe.
Apart from this, CBI team also visited tehsil archives where it obtained blueprints of land records of Jamalpur Bhakhanda and Raksarai villages from Manjhanpur SDM. It contains property papers of Kavi’s father Abdul Aziz, wife Kaneez Fatima, brother Abdul Wali, his wife Faizia Bano, brother Abdul Qadir, his wife Bushra, brother Abdul Mughani and his wife Shaheen Bano.
