Sharing a list of the above items, Amitabh Thakur has demanded strict action in the matter. Hemant Kutiyal said that a similar list had gone viral on social media in 2017 which was investigated thoroughly. However, no conclusion was drawn.
He added, "Since this list is making rounds on the internet now, we will probe the matter once again and initiate strict action."
Earlier, this month, Uttar Pradesh police launched a 15-day campaign to identify criminals involved in illegal activities and acquiring properties through such means.
