UP Police revealed that Urdu poet Munawwar Rana’s son Tabrez had mounted a fake attack on himself to frame his uncles in a land dispute case.
Briefing mediapersons on July 2, an Uttar Pradesh Police spokesperson said, “On June 28, Tabrez had alleged that he was attacked by two bike-borne assailants. Accordingly, an FIR (First Information Report) was registered in the case. On the basis of CCTV footage and eyewitness testimonies, we found that Tabrez had sold land that belonged to his uncles. They had opposed his decision and he therefore wanted to implicate them in the case by staging a pre-planned attack.”
According to the police, Tabrez along with his two accomplices, Haleem and Sultan, mounted the fake attack. “Tabrez hoped that if he stages an attack on himself, then, he can accuse his uncles of trying to assassinate him. In this way, he believed that his uncles will avoid pursuing the land dispute case further. Tabrez had plans to contest polls from Tiloi (Amethi) and thought that he would get security and media coverage by pulling off such a stunt,” said the police spokesperson.
It may be mentioned that the police had conducted a raid in the house of Munnawar Rana on Thursday (July 1).
