nabbed four people for attacking the complainant with a knife while she was out
for a morning walk on May 25. During their investigation, police had said that the
there weren’t enough evidences that prove that the attack was linked to Karan
Oberoi’s rape case.
But the
latest twist in this case might leave u shocked. According to police, the
attack happened on the complainant, was reportedly ordered by her lawyer, Ali
Kaashif Khan. Yes, you heard that right!
The report
in Times Of India states, “The police said they were looking for the lawyer,
Ali Kaashif Khan, and an accomplice after the revelation of his masterminding
the attack came from one of the four youths arrested on Thursday. The lawyer
did not respond to any calls on Friday. His mobile was switched off, as was
that of the woman. The arrested youths were identified as brothers Zishan
Ansari (23) and Altamash (22), Jithin Santosh Kurian (22) and Arafat Ahmed Ali
(21). All are students. The police said Ali, a distant relative of Khan,
confessed that the lawyer had assigned them the task of attacking and
threatening his client for money.”
A police
officer told TOI, “The motive behind the attack will be clear only after the
lawyer is arrested. The lawyer’s name cropped up after one of the four arrested
men said that it was the lawyer who had discussed the attack with them and paid
them some money. The planning was done four-five days before the attack. The
attackers were given a proper daily schedule of the victim’s morning walk.
Accordingly, Zishan, who is doing his BCom, and his brother Altamash, who is
pursuing BMM, planned the attack while Ali rode the two-wheeler belonging to
Zishan and Kurian slashed at the victim’s arm before he threw the paper
scribbled with the words ‘Take The Case Back’. He also showed her a bottle
threatening to attack her with acid.”
The report also suggests that the 4 persons, who were nabbed by police, were produced before the Andheri metropolitan magistrate’s court on Friday and released on a Rs 15,000 bail surety. They were booked under sections 324 (hurt), 506 (II) (criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention) of the IPC.
