Bareilly Authorities Expand Crackdown With Rewards, Fresh Seals and Power-Theft Recoveries

Officials cast the measures as routine enforcement of building and revenue laws following the September 26 clashes.

Overview

  • UP Police announced ₹15,000 rewards for information leading to the arrest of seven absconding IMC leaders, with special teams conducting raids and non-bailable warrants in process.
  • On Monday, the BDA sealed five more properties, including a wedding hall linked to Wajid Beg and an electric two-wheeler showroom run by SP councillor Abdul Qayyum ‘Munna’, a day after fully razing the Raza Palace hall tied to Dr Nafees.
  • The power department issued recovery certificates totaling roughly ₹1.25–1.28 crore against five associates for alleged direct theft at e-charging stations, and a probe panel was set up to examine possible staff complicity.
  • Police filed a new FIR against aides Dr Nafees and Nadeem over alleged forged letters used to back protest calls, as health authorities pursued action accusing Nafees of practising medicine without valid credentials.
  • Authorities say more than 80 people, including IMC chief Maulana Tauqeer Raza, are in custody and properties worth over ₹170 crore have been identified and sealed, while some owners deny links and question notice and process.
