He was involved in the diesel scam of tower companies. Dumpy's statements could lead to major revelations against several influential leaders and mafia kingpins in Purvanchal.
Lucknow: In Uttar Pradesh, the SIT arrested 'Dumpy', a trusted manager of mafia don Mukhtar Ansari and an active member of the IS 191 gang, from Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport on Wednesday morning. Dumpy was involved in illegal earnings worth billions of rupees by infiltrating the diesel supply network of tower companies. His arrest could increase the troubles of several influential leaders and mafia kingpins in Purvanchal and expose the gang's financial and political network.
Who is Dumpy and Why is He Important
Dumpy, a resident of Ghazipur, is no ordinary criminal. He was the trusted manager of the late mafia Mukhtar Ansari and an active member of the IS 191 gang. Using Mukhtar Ansari's power and influence, Dumpy infiltrated the diesel supply network of telecom tower companies. Additionally, in collaboration with former MP Atul Rai, he ran a large network of diesel theft and black marketing, leading to illegal earnings worth billions of rupees.
Dumpy would seize control of diesel supply by threatening tower companies and then sell it in the black market to make a profit. According to investigative sources, at the time of his arrest, Dumpy was attempting to flee abroad, but his plan was thwarted by the SIT's vigilance.
Scope of the Tower Diesel Scam
Dumpy possesses complete inside information about this scam. His statements could increase the difficulties for several prominent leaders and mafia kingpins in Ghazipur and Purvanchal. According to sources, the names being mentioned include Akhand Rai, Angad Rai, former MP Atul Rai, MLA Abhay Singh, and Mukhtar Ansari's son and MLA Abbas Ansari.
A senior police officer stated that if Dumpy provides all the details to the SIT, the gang's modus operandi, funding, and political connections will be exposed. This could break the financial backbone of Mukhtar Ansari's syndicate. Dumpy's arrest will further strengthen the Yogi government's anti-mafia campaign.
Enforcement Directorate May Also Become Active
Dumpy's arrest could also prove to be the beginning of the end for the entire network. Based on his revelations, the gang's hidden properties, land, hotels, and farmhouses could be traced. Furthermore, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) may also become active from a money laundering perspective. Action under the Gangster Act will impact the activities of the mafia and their patrons in Purvanchal.
Political and Criminal World in Turmoil
Dumpy's arrest has caused an upheaval in the political and criminal landscape of Uttar Pradesh. This arrest is not only linked to the tower diesel scam but is also likely to bring forth the names of several influential and powerful individuals from Purvanchal. Investigating agencies are fully engaged in getting to the root of this scam.
Threat to Purvanchal's Leaders
Dumpy's statements could disturb the sleep of many prominent leaders and mafia kingpins in Purvanchal. Their political and economic networks could be exposed. This case is not merely about crime; it also has significant political aspects. The SIT's investigation will clarify who all were involved in this scam and how billions of rupees were illegally earned.
