Bulldozers Strike Nagpur: Mafia Structures Razed
20 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Thirty-three illegal structures owned by a notorious gangster were demolished.
- Swanky extensions on prime railway land served as crime operational hubs.
- The demolition is part of an escalating anti-narcotics and organized crime crackdown.
Thirty-three illegal structures, many serving as swanky extensions on prime railway land, were demolished in Nagpur's Dobi Nagar. These properties were linked to notorious gangster Mohammed Irfan Khan, alias Ippa, and his family.
The swift, six-hour operation involved 100 police officers, riot control platoons, and railway officials. Nine structures were directly owned by Ippa and his brothers, housing ritzy rooms, gymnasiums, and offices used as operational hubs for drug peddling, arms trafficking, and extortion.
This demolition is part of an escalating anti-narcotics and organized crime crackdown, intensified in the run-up to civic elections. Recent raids had uncovered significant drug and arms caches linked to the gang, leading to further seizures and demolitions.
