A spoiled brat
The family members were not happy with the attitude of Lallan, who was of a spoiled nature since childhood. He was the youngest among three brothers and five sisters. He left his ancestral house in Malihabad and built a house in Lucknow vicinity of Dubbaga. Allegedly being under the protection of a political party for many decades, he kept committing crimes, In 1979, he murdered a person named Habib, a resident of Kakori, and put the body in a brick kiln.
Committed crime from Nepal hideout
According to police, Lallan's two sons live in Poland. The third son and Faraz, who was a partner in the latest killing, used to live with him in Dubagga. They were allegedly engaged in illegal businesses with foreign countries. For this, the accused set up many hideouts in Nepal. His sons on their way to India from Poland used to stay in Nepal. The activities of Lallan, who was fond of pigeon flying, raised the suspicion of the police four years ago when he had ordered some pigeons from Surbala village in Pakistan's Punjab province. Lucknow Police gathered information about Bablu Kajala, a Pakistani national, who supplied him with pigeons.
