The demolished properties included commercial and residential establishments constructed on government-owned land, such as a marriage garden, farmhouse, warehouse and factory. The extensive operation utilised twenty JCB machines and required over two hundred police personnel, with work continuing into the night hours.
The enforcement action followed the Club-90 investigation that established links to the family.
Previously, authorities had demolished a shopping complex owned by Sohail Machhli in Kokta. The operation commenced after Collector Kaushalendra Vikram Singh and SDM Huzur Vinod Sonkia conducted a four-hour strategic planning session on Tuesday. The value of the recovered government land exceeds Rs 100 crore.
The action was initiated following complaints received through the CM Helpline and other sources, with JCB machines deployed to remove the illegal buildings.
The demolished structures comprised a 40-acre farmhouse owned by Shakeel Ahmed, Shariq Ahmed's 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse and 5-acre poultry farm, a two-acre farm and one-acre factory belonging to other family members, and a three-storey residence situated on one acre of government land.

Over 3,100 cases of cyber crime filed against goat farms in Ajmer
Ajmer: There are 3,160 cases of cyber crime registered throughout the country related to fraud sale of goats in name of goat farms in Ajmer. Victims have been duped of over Rs 2.7 crore by showing good quality and breed of goats in the name of different goat farms in Ajmer. The victims paid in advance through online transactions. Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre in New Delhi transferred all 3,160 complaints to Rajasthan police, which asked police officials of Ajmer to verify the goat farms in Ajmer. Police have registered zero FIRs against those operating without registration and also froze bank accounts involved in this cyber crime. Hanuman Singh, deputy SP of Ajmer Cyber Police Station, issued a letter to all police stations in Ajmer asking them "to verify the registration of goat farms in their region and also verify their activities and register FIR if any irregularities are found," said an officer. He added, "In the name of goat farms situated in Ajmer, scammers put up advertisements or social feeds showing healthy goats of good breed and lure goat contractors across the country, by taking advance payments but failing to deliver the goods." Ajmer bakra mandi is famous for providing good breeds of goats, and during Bakra Eid, the goats are even exported to Dubai and other countries. The demand for Ajmer goats is also high in Mumbai, Gujarat, Hyderabad, and other cities. "The goats graze on different herbs on hills and are not confined within fences. Therefore, these goats are in demand," said Akhtar Hussein of bakra mandi, which is situated on Beawar Road. Sources said that due to the demand for Ajmer goats, many goat farms have come up on Sikar Road, Pushkar Road, and other outskirts of Ajmer. "Some names of farms were provided by Delhi cyber cell, including names of the owners, and therefore we are verifying their records," said an officer. He said that Ajmer SP Vandita Rana also directed closure of goat farms operating illegally and involved in cyber crime. "These 3,160 complaints about duping in the name of Ajmer goats are registered on the 1930 number of the cyber crime complaint centre, and there may be more victims who are unable to register complaint," said a goat farmer.
