The Naini police on Wednesday attached the property of notorious history-sheeter Mohd Javed, aka Pappu Ganjia, in Kharkauni area, on Wednesday. Pappu was wanted in a case of extortion and was on the run, police said.
ACP, Karchhana, Ajeet Singh Chauhan, said that the action has been taken on the orders of the court.
Pappu Ganjia has 42 criminal cases registered against him. He was wanted in a case of extortion but had been evading arrest. On the instructions of the court his property has been attached, he added.
In 2020, the police and PDA officials demolished the farmhouse of Pappu Ganjia at his native place in Ganjia locality. The action was taken under Gangsters’ Act lodged against him at the Naini police station.
Since then, Pappu went into hiding and all efforts by the police to arrest him went in vain. Pappu had earlier joined the Samajwadi Party and is also a corporator of the Ganjia area.
