Delhi bizman's unlikely link to don: Stolen Merc

Meerut: Until a week ago, Abdul Majid, a Delhi-based businessman, had little idea about his remote connection with UP’s most wanted don Badan Singh Baddo. It was only when the latter’s palatial bungalow was being razed that Majid got to know that his Mercedes S Class he was trying to trace was once one of Baddo’s prized possessions, a claim that UP police has also confirmed.

The car was bought in 2008 for Rs 90 lakh. According to Majid, “I had given my car to an acquaintance who dealt in the sale and purchase of second-hand luxury vehicles in 2015. I was promised Rs 30 lakh after the sale but years passed by and I never saw my vehicle and the dealers kept confusing me to an extent that I even filed a complaint at Delhi’s Civil Lines police station against the two men in January 2017.”
