Police interrogate gangster Prince Khan’s parents in Dhanbad

Dhanbad: In a major development in the ongoing crackdown against notorious Wasseypur gangster Prince Khan, Dhanbad police on Tuesday brought his father Nasir Khan and mother Nasreen Khatoon to Dhanbad police station and questioned them for nearly five hours regarding the fugitive criminal's activities and whereabouts.According to police sources, the couple had appeared in court in connection with a murder case in which a judgment is expected soon. Following the court proceedings, police escorted them directly to the police station for interrogation. A special team, led by DSP, law and order, Naushad Alam questioned the duo and also examined their mobile phones for possible clues linked to Prince Khan and other family members allegedly associated with criminal activities. During questioning, Nasir Khan and Nasreen Khatoon repeatedly claimed that they no longer maintain any relationship with their sons, including absconding gangsters Prince Khan and Gopi Khan, jailed accused Godwin Khan, and Bunty Khan, who is currently out on bail. They informed police that Bunty does not live with them and they have had no recent contact with Prince or Gopi. The couple further stated that repeated police attachment and confiscation drives forced them to shift from Dhanbad to rented accommodations and later move frequently between Kolkata and their ancestral home in Siwan, Bihar. Police reportedly questioned them about their last communication with Prince and Gopi Khan and whether they remain in touch with the wives of the two gangsters, both of whom later moved to Dubai despite earlier informing the court that they had no connection with their husbands. Dhanbad SSP Prabhat Kumar said police are continuously investigating the activities of absconding gangster Prince Khan and that action against him will continue until his arrest. Prince Khan is accused of operating an extortion network from Pakistan by threatening businessmen in Jharkhand. Several criminal cases against him are registered across the state. Police recently arrested his close aide Saifi Abbas Naqvi alias Major from Kolkata Airport on April 19, after which the investigation intensified further.
