Noida Scrap Mafia Ravi Kana Along With Girlfriend Kajal Jha Arrested From Thailand

Ravi Nagar alias Ravi Kaana, a fugitive gangster of western Uttar Pradesh wanted in multiple cases by the Noida Police, and his girlfriend Kajal Jha have been arrested from Thailand. They both were absconding for a long time.

According to news agency PTI, Nagar, who is allegedly involved in scrap trade, has been booked under the stringent Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act after an FIR was lodged against him at the Beta 2 police station in Greater Noida on January 2 this year.

The 42-year-old Noida scrap mafia is also an accused in a gang-rape case. The complaint against him was lodged at the Noida Sector 39 police station on December 28, 2023.

“The Gautam Buddh Nagar police have been in touch with the Interpol and local authorities abroad. A look out circular and red corner notice were also issued against him in January this year over suspicion that he could flee the country,” a senior police officer was quoted by PTI. The officer further confirmed that Nagar and Jha had been apprehended in Thailand.

The accused would be brought back to Greater Noida after due legal proceedings for trial in the cases underway against them in Uttar Pradesh.

The police designated Ravi Kana as the kingpin of illegal activities while his girlfriend was also deemed to be an equal partner in his crime, according to a 500-page chargesheet filed in the court.

Ever since the Gangsters Act case was lodged, the police here have arrested around a dozen of his gang members and sealed allegedly ill-gotten assets, including factories, offices and vehicles, worth around Rs 200 crore.

Nagar has been into scrap trade where he allegedly used criminal influence to win contracts and even engaged in loot of material from industrial sites, according to the police.
