Six members of gang arrested in Gujarat's Jamnagar; stringent GUJCTOC Act invoked

Six persons belonging to a gang allegedly involved in 74 serious cases were arrested in Gujarat's Jamnagar district, a police official said on Thursday.

The stringent Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GUJCTOC) Act has been invoked against the six, identified as Ghulam Saycha, Mahebub Saycha, Asgar Saycha, Hanif Saycha, Imtiyaz Saycha and Razak alias Razak Supari, he said.

They are part of the ''Saycha gang'', which is involved in offences such as murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping, extortion, firing incidents, violations under the Arms Act, illegal money lending, land grabbing, criminal intimidation, gambling and prohibition act-related crimes, said Jamnagar Superintendent of Police Ravi Mohan Saini.

The case under Gujarat Control of Terrorism and Organised Crime (GUJCTOC) Act was registered at Jamnagar City B Division police station, the SP added.

Four operatives of the 11-member gang were arrested earlier, he said, adding that now just one remained to be apprehended, he said.

''The gang's movable and immovable assets will be probed. If it is found that these were acquired through proceeds of crime, steps will be initiated to seize them,'' SP Saini informed.
