He is out on bail and has around 11 cases registered against him pertaining to illegal occupation of land, threatening, and possession of illegal arms, police said. The properties demolished on Wednesday were worth ₹8 crore. This was the first time that a drive was conducted to demolish the illegal properties of a gangster on orders from the state government, a police official informed.

Narender Kadian, deputy commissioner of police (NIT), said, “Javed has been involved in criminal activities for the last 14 years. He used to grab land and properties by pressuring and threatening people. He also used to send his aides to threaten property owners and forced them to vacate their properties.” Kadian further said the gangster was collecting rent from these properties and used to increase rates by 10% every year. “There are 11 cases of murder, attempt to murder, extortion, and possession of illegal weapons registered against him at different police stations, including Surajkund,” he informed.
