Chandola Lake mafia Lallu Bihari's illegal fortress destroyed

The ongoing bulldozer action at Ahemdabad's Chandola Lake also led to the dismantling of a crime empire run by a gangster who projected himself as the messiah of migrants.

Over 30 years, Lalla Pathan alias Lallu Bihari undertook illegal activities including illegal business, human trafficking, and exploiting needy migrants and underprivileged people.

During the ongoing demolition drive at Chandola Lake, the Crime Branch discovered Lallu’s farmhouse, on the encroached land.

The Crime Branch found that Lallu and his son used to provide illegal electricity connections in the huts and their own farmhouse as well.

The Isanpur Police and Crime Branch registered two complaints of electricity theft and started an investigation.

Atul Patel, assistant manager at Torrent Power, Amraiwadi Zone, filed a complaint against Rahim Sheikh alias Chatni, Mustafa Diwan, Basir Sheikh, Lallu a and his son Fateh Mohammed, Ahmed Sheikh, Rahenabibi Afzal Khan Pathan, and Kusnubanu.

He stated that his team found illegal electricity connections at locations including Razab Shethni Chali, Millatnagar, Suryanagar and Nawabnagar.

In another complaint, Hardeep Guman, an Assistant Manager at Torrent Power, has filed a report against Wahid Sheikh, Bashir alias Bhuriyo, Imran Mohsin Khan, Amir alias Kalu Sheikh, and Malekhan Mewani, who reside near Chandola Lake. These individuals are accused of engaging in illegal electricity connections in the Chandola Lake area. Based on this complaint, 

Following this revelation, the Isanpur Police and Crime Branch have initiated an investigation.

For over 30 years, Lallu Bihari spread his network of various criminal activities across Ahmedabad. He used to give employment to migrants, mostly Bangladeshis, at his broom manufacturing factory.

Lallu is a kingpin of human trafficking where he used to push women into prostitution. He also forced children and women into begging. Lallu used to take care of all the fake Indian documents for the migrants using his top ‘connections’ in the system, as per reports.

Terror networks, drug cartels and more

Several terrorists from extremist organisations such as Al-Qaeda and Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen have been released from Bangladeshi prisons and are attempting to infiltrate India.

Illegal encroachments linked to drug cartels involving substances like marijuana and charas have been dismantled. In the past, numerous drug-related cases were uncovered in the Chandola area, with the active involvement of many Bangladeshi nationals.

A significant number of illegal Bangladeshi residents have been detained, leading to the successful dismantling of several criminal networks during the investigation.

Last year, the Crime Branch registered a case where a young Bangladeshi man lured girls to Ahmedabad and forced them into prostitution after sexually exploiting them.

Forged documents were used for infiltration, money laundering, and other illegal activities to earn money, which was then transferred illegally to Bangladesh.

The Ahmedabad Crime Branch will soon file a new complaint regarding Bangladeshi nationals obtaining Indian passports using fake documents.
