Police razes encroachments established by criminal in Sec 37

Gurugram police demolished an illegal parking lot on government land, linked to notorious criminal Ricky, who has multiple serious charges against him.

The Gurugram police on Wednesday demolished an encroachment on a government land in Sector 37 (phase IV) by an alleged notorious and habitual criminal, officials said.

The accused was getting monetary benefits for using the land as an illegitimate parking lot.

Local police team, district town and country planner (DTP) nodal officer R.S. Bhatt and Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation (HSIIDC) officials jointly bulldozed a temporary makeshift parking of 81,000 square feet, built with tin sheets, on the HSIIDC’s plot 50, added officials.

Police said the parking was undertaken by a history-sheeter named Ricky (single name), 29, son of Madan Halwai and a resident of Khandsa in sector 37. “He has multiple cases registered against him at different city police stations,” said Sandeep Turan, public relations officer of Gurugram police.

The accused was getting monetary benefits for using the land as an illegitimate parking lot. “He came in contact with vagabonds and had spent considerable time in prison. The demolition was carried out peacefully,” Turan added.

Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused has at least eleven cases registered against him under the Arms Act, six for attempt to murder, seven for criminal intimidation, three for rioting, and dacoity related across Gurugram and Rewari districts, officials said.
