In a major operation against underworld leader Ravi Kana and his gang, Noida police have seized properties totaling Rs 200 crore. The latest action involves the raid and sealing of Ravi’s girlfriend Kajal Jha’s lavish bungalow, valued at Rs 100 crore, located in South Delhi.
Ravi Kana, initially involved in the agricultural trade, rapidly amassed wealth by organizing a gang of 16 members. The gang engaged in illegal activities, including threatening businesses and illicit trading. Despite various ongoing cases, Ravi remains at large, and the police continue their search.
Kajal, who initially sought employment with Ravi, later became his close confidant and girlfriend. Notably, Kajal managed Ravi’s financial accounts and conducted benami transactions. The police action extended to sealing a three-story bungalow worth Rs 100 crore in New Friends Colony, South Delhi’s affluent area, which was reportedly gifted to Ravi by Kajal.
Ravi Kana, the brother of the late underworld leader Harendra Pradhan in Greater Noida, assumed leadership of the gang following Pradhan’s death in a gang encounter in 2014. Despite receiving police protection due to life threats, Ravi faces multiple charges, including kidnapping and theft. Six individuals associated with the gang have been arrested thus far.
The police operation also resulted in the confiscation of various properties in Greater Noida and Noida, underscoring the extensive reach and impact of Ravi Kana’s criminal network. The crackdown reflects the authorities’ commitment to curbing organized crime in the region and dismantling the illicit enterprises orchestrated by Ravi and his gang.
