LUCKNOW: Starting the process to seize the assets of key conspirators behind inciting Sambhal violence on November 24 last year during which four people were killed, police in that district have attached the properties worth Rs 2.3 crore of Dubai-based Sambhal gangster Shariq Satha and his associates, confirmed senior police officials on Tuesday.

The said properties were attached on Sunday after the Sambhal police got nod from the local Gangsters Act court on Saturday, the cops added.

They said the police are also identifying properties of at least three more associates of Satha, including Ghulam, Mulla Afroz and Mohd Waris, who were part of the larger conspiracy behind Sambhal violence and were arrested in connection with the violence.

The Sambhal police have initiated proceedings against Shariq Satha and his close associate Sikandar under provisions of the Gangsters Act after charge sheeting him as the key conspirator last week.

Sambhal ASP (north) Shrish Chandra said the action was initiated after Satha, his associates and their family members failed to prove their legal ownership despite being given ample time for it.
