to face action in the ongoing crackdown on organised crime in the state with his 12 immovable properties being earmarked for attachment.

Prayagraj district magistrate Bhanu Chandra Goswami on Monday night issued an order for attachment of Mishra’s 12 immoveable properties under Gangster Act. The DM has also asked police to submit a status report in this regard by September 18.

The decision to attach the properties was taken after SSP Prayagraj Abhishek Dixit had recommended the action in a report to the district magistrate. He had reasoned that the properties had been allegedly accumulated through illegal means. After going through the available records, the DM decided to attach the properties owned by Mishra.

In his report, the SSP said that Dilip Mishra, a resident of Lavayan Kala in Industrial Area, was running an organised gang, and he and his accomplices had accumulated wealth through illegal means.

The properties are located in Poora Pandey village (Arial), Mahuwari, Lavayan, Mungari, Devrakh Uphar and Lawayan villages under Karchhana, Industrial Area and Naini police stations.

SSP Abhishek Dixit told reporters, “Police have identified the properties of gangster Dilip Mishra and his accomplices. The district magistrate has ordered the attachment of 12 properties of gangster Dilip Mishra. Police would soon start the process of property attachment.”

Over 46 criminal cases are registered against Dilip Mishra and he is currently lodged in Fatehgarh district jail.

The district police had recently attached seven properties worth Rs 60 crore of mafia don turned politician Atiq Ahmad in the city.
