The SIT team probing the violence in Kanpur on June 3 has made a big disclosure. According to the SIT, the statement of former Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Nupur Sharma was just an excuse, the real task was to vacate Chandeshwar Hata, for which a supari of one crore was given to the most dangerous D2 gang of Kanpur.
This deal was done with Afzal, the kingpin of D2 gang. The whole conspiracy was hatched by Mukhtar Baba, owner of Baba Biryani, builder Haji Vashi and a person named Haji Quddus. Surprisingly, Baba Mukhtar’s son Umar and Haji Vashi’s son Abdul Rehman were also involved in this conspiracy. For this the whole land was prepared.
On the basis of the captive called by Zafar Hayat on 3 June, Afzal Ansari gave four lakhs each to his henchmen Aqeel Khichdi and Sablu after explaining the whole plan to Chhote Miyan. These people had brought stones and petrol bombs on the handcart. According to the SIT, Afzal had made the entire plan fool proof.
The SIT found in its investigation, ‘Afzal had planned that when the procession would move towards Chandeshwar Hata, at the same time his already deployed boys would attack Chandeshwar Hata as soon as he got the signal, attack with stones and petrol bombs. After that there will be uproar. Panic will spread, then the people living in the side will start selling their plots and houses cheaply.
According to the SIT, when people sold the land, Haji Vashi and Mukhtar Baba would have bought it, Afzal was promised a supari of one crore after the capture of Chandeshwar Hate, before the ruckus, Umar, son of Mukhtar Baba, Afzal 10 lakh was given in advance.
It has been revealed in the SIT investigation that Afzal had assured these people that my name is enough, due to which the criminals of the area will join it. It has also been revealed in the investigation that before the ruckus, there was a meeting of this plan between Haji Vashi, Mukhtar Baba and Zafar Hayat, in which a person named Haji Quddus attended.
In this case, the role of a person named Haji Quddus has been found most suspicious, because he was close to the administration and after the ruckus, on the pretext of the help of the administration, would reach the spot to convince the people and to rescue those who were caught in the ruckus by the police. This would make the path of the outline Quddus.
Investigation revealed that builder Vashi had gifted Quddus a big flat in a big building on his side. These people had also decided in the meeting that during the ruckus, the boys who will be caught by the police and sent to jail, on our behalf, we will provide bail and lobbying facility by providing free lawyers in the court.
It was also revealed in the SIT investigation that for this ruckus, builder Haji Vashi had already collected an amount of about 35 lakhs by selling some of his properties and the D2 gang was resorted to. The most dangerous intention of this gang was that this ruckus should spoil the name of the country and they should get media headlines.
It is worth noting here that D2 gang leader Afzal is the brother of the same Rafiq who was once considered close to the most wanted Dawood Ibrahim sitting in Pakistan. It is said that when Dawood Ibrahim entered the underworld in Mumbai, Afzal’s brother Rafiq and Dawood used to play carrom together in a carrom club.
One of Afzal’s brothers was killed in a police encounter in Kanpur, while one brother, Rafiq, was killed in police custody by his opponent in a gang war in Kidwai Nagar. Only after this, Afzal is commanding the D2 gang. It has also been revealed that Mukhtar Baba and Haji Vashi used to occupy property through D2 gang in the last two decades.
