The properties attached included a flat in Sulabh Awas Yojana in Gomti Nagar Extension, Lucknow, belonging to Vikas Singh, an alleged harbourer of terror gang in Lucknow. Two other properties attached were located in the Bhishanpura village, Fazilka, Punjab owned by accused Dalip Kumar and an SUV registered in the name of Joginder Singh of Yamunanagar, Haryana, was also seized.
The agency’s investigations showed that the gang had spread its criminal network in several states of the country. These networks were involved in many sensational crimes, such as the murders of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala as well as religious and social leaders like Pardeep Kumar, besides extortions.
