Kathmandu. In Uttar Pradesh, a crackdown has been initiated against a gang playing a death game in the name of insurance. <\/p>\n
The Sambhal police and administration in Uttar Pradesh have started action against an inter-state gang involved in the brutal murder of sick people by insuring them to grab insurance money. Under the Gangster Act, a total of Rs 11.89 crore worth of illegally acquired assets belonging to this gang will be confiscated.
