The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court has upheld an FIR against Mohit Yadav, the alleged leader of the Dakaiti gang, under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters and Anti-Social Activities (Prevention) Act, 1986. This decision stems from a ₹6.8 lakh robbery that occurred on March 28, 2025, in Vikas Nagar, Lucknow, where a jeweller's employee, Amit Saini, was attacked by bike-borne assailants. The court dismissed Yadav's petition, which argued that the gang chart used to support the FIR was not approved in a joint meeting as required by law. The judges emphasized that the essence of the law lies in collective decision-making, not merely the timing of signatures. The FIR named 13 accused and included charges under Section 111(2)(b) related to organized crime. The court noted that the police had followed due procedure and that the approval process was valid, thus rejecting Yadav's claims and upholding the FIR.
