Poet Munawwar Rana`s son is booked for allegedly faking an attack on himself to implicate his uncles. Uttar Pradesh police have taken action on Tabrez Rana who was embroiled in an ancestral property dispute with his uncle.
He is now arrested by the Rae Bareli police from Lalkuan locality in Lucknow, late on Wednesday night. Rana wanted to contest the state assembly elections from Tiloi in Rae Bareli, who had staged the attack on himself. He did this to get security and media coverage, besides implicating his uncles, the police official said. A complaint was lodged with the Rae Bareli police alleging that he was attacked by two bike-borne men at a petrol pump in the Hindola Ratapur area on June 28. After the attack, the investigation was made by a Special Operations Group of the Uttar Pradesh police. In the CCTV footage of the area, several discrepancies were scanned and found in Rana`s claims. Tabrez was found alone in a vehicle at the time of the incident though he had claimed that there was another person with him. Rae Bareli SP Shlok Kumar had said that Tabrez Rana, along with his two accomplices Haleem and Sultan Ali, faked the attack on himself.
Meanwhile, Munawwar Rana said on Thursday that his son was being targeted because he had expressed his opinion that was against the state government. "This government believes that every Muslim is a terrorist," he said.
