Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday removed illegal portions of a residential structure belonging to deceased Kamlesh Singh “Pradhan”, who was a gang member of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, in the Ghazipur district.
The removal action was carried out amid heavy deployment of the police force. The administration’s crackdown came amidst the State government’s ongoing drive against notorious criminals and goons. Earlier last month, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, during his address at the state Assembly, said that the UP government will destroy the mafia nexus in the state [Mafiaon Ko Mitti Me Mila Denge].
Launching a scathing attack on Samajwadi Party for nurturing the mafia in the state CM had said the UP government would destroy the mafia. CM Yogi also held the previous Samajwadi Party led-government responsible for nurturing and patronising criminals and mafia in the state.
