This came after the recent searches which were conducted at 76 locations linked with gangsters and their associates in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Delhi/ NCR in February.
These properties have been seized in connection with NIA's probe in cases against three major organised crime syndicates under Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in August 2022 who had spread their mafia-style criminal networks in the northern states and were involved in many sensational crimes.
The Properties attached were found to be 'proceeds of terrorism', which were used for hatching terror conspiracies and execution of crimes.
The properties attached include a house of Asif Khan in Delhi, a house and agricultural land in three different locations belonging to Surender Singh alias Chiku in the Mahendragarh district of Haryana.
