Munawwar Rana’s son booked for ‘staged attack’, he says cops ‘acted like goons’

Munawwar Rana’s son Tabrez Rana (28) has been booked for allegedly faking an assault on himself to implicate his uncles over a property dispute in Rae Bareli district.
Two pals of Tabrez and two shooters have been arrested and despatched to judicial custody for staging the assault on him, Rae Bareli police stated on Friday. Tabrez is absconding.
Munawwar (68), in a press release on Thursday evening, accused the police of “acting like goons” and getting into his home in Lucknow with no warrant or discover. “They acted like goons here…They did not let the media or the lawyers enter (the house). In the condition I am in, if I die then the policemen, all of them who came here, will be responsible.”

Rae Bareli SP Shlok Kumar stated that on June 28, Tabrez filed a case at Kotwali police station, alleging that he was attacked by two bike-borne males. “Teams were deployed to investigate the claims. After scanning CCTV footage and questioning people in the nearby area, it came to light that Tabrez Rana had sold some paternal land, which was more than his share…his uncles opposed it. In the complaint lodged by Tabrez, he suspected that his uncles may have a role in the so-called attack,” stated SP Kumar. The SP stated Tabrez thought that his uncles would resign to the sale after the FIR.
