A Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted by Adityanath soon after the alleged encounter Dubey had recommended a probe into Dubey’s properties and it was accepted by the chief minister.
The three-member SIT, headed by Additional Chief Secretary Sanjay Bhoosreddy, had said there was a need for an in-depth investigation of the gangster’s illegally acquired assets worth Rs 147 crore by the ED, a government spokesperson said.
