Madhya Pradesh Muslim Tehwar Committee president Hifzur Rehman has been booked by the Kotwali Police of Bhopal for attempt to commit culpable homicide.
The police action came late on Wednesday evening after Hifzur Rehman alias Chhotey Miyan attacked one Shaharyar Khan alias Sheru over dispute of money transaction in Kotwali area.
Kotwali Police station In-charge Neeraj Verma while talking to The Pioneer informed that a case under sections 308, 294, 325 and 506 of the IPC has been registered against Rehman and his accomplices for assaulting Shaharyar Khan over dispute of money.
Verma said that Rehman had taken ` 20,000 from Khan and several others on the pretext of providing them loan of `5 lakh under Prime Minister Employment Scheme few months back. As the time passed and the loan was not provided to Khan, he started demanding his money back due to that Rehman stopped answering his phone calls. On Wednesday Khan reached Rehman’s house and demanded to return his money. This led to heated exchanges between them and Rehman’s son Shanu brought out a lathi from inside the house and attacked Khan. After Khan fell down, both Rehman and his son beat him up black and blue till he got unconscious and threw him on the street.
Meanwhile, Sheru Khan who is admitted in a local private hospital has undergone CT Scan twice since Wednesday as his condition is not stable but he regained consciousness on Thursday morning.
Khan told The Pioneer that he is not the only one that has been befooled by Rehman; there are many others. He informed that Rehman posed himself as a counselor of State Bank of India and promised to get loan sanctioned under Pradhan Mantri Rozgar Yojna
