New Delhi, January 5: In a major crackdown on notorious gangster Ravi Kana, alias Ravi Nagar, the Greater Noida Police have sealed assets valued at Rs 100 crore, including a lavish bungalow worth Rs 80 crore owned by Kajal Jha, identified as Ravi Kana's girlfriend. The action unfolded after a reported hijacking attempt by the gang, with police revealing that Kajal Jha, initially seeking employment, ended up joining the gang and played a significant role in its operations.

According to a report by the Free Press Journal, the sealed bungalow, located in New Friends Colony, Delhi, is believed to have been gifted to Kajal Jha by Ravi Kana. The police, intensifying their efforts, have also frozen the bank accounts of Ravi and his gang members, blocking ATM cards to prevent any fund transfers. The gang's involvement in the bar and scrap trade has raised concerns, with assets being traced in various cities, including Delhi, Ghaziabad, Dehradun, Punjab, and Bulandshahr. Delhi Shocker: Man Hospitalised After Friend Shoots Him Over Minor Altercation in New Usmanpur, Accused Absconding.
