ED Attaches Six Properties Worth ₹2.03 Crore Linked to Mukhtar Ansari Aide

The move follows allegations that Vikas Construction built illegal godowns on encroached land, later leasing them to the FCI to generate income alleged to be laundered.

The probe is based on two FIRs lodged in Mau and Ghazipur, alleging that Vikas Construction illegally encroached on government land in Raini village and Ghazipur, where unauthorized godowns were built and later leased to the Food Corporation of India (FCI). (Pic for representation)
