The Noida Police on Tuesday lodged an FIR against Aam Aadmi Party’s Delhi MLA Amanatullah Khan and his son on charges of assault and criminal intimidation, officials said. Khan, an MP from Okhla constituency, claimed that this was a “unilateral” action by the police and that he had been wrongly framed in the case. The AAP leader and his son were booked after they allegedly assaulted and threatened employees of a filling station in Sector 95 following an altercation, officials said. The FIR was filed following a complaint by a petrol station employee who claimed that Khan’s son had reached there in the morning to get fuel for his car, but jumped the queue. Khan’s son Anas Ahmed was mentioned as “unidentified” in the FIR. He allegedly insisted that the seller must fill his vehicle with fuel first and assaulted the seller.
Noida Additional DCP Manish Kumar Mishra said the FIR was lodged at the Phase 1 police station against the AAP MLA, his son and some unidentified persons. Khan, however, told PTI that his son, a law student, was going to appear for an exam when the incident occurred. “The gas station staff misbehaved with my son and also mistreated him. Now they are using incomplete images from the security cameras to defame my image and frame me in a unilateral police action,” he said. Khan also claimed that after receiving a call from the local police, he arrived at the gas pump, spoke to his owner and everything was “resolved.” But he later learned that he was also “implicated” in the case by the police, Khan said. The complainant Vinod Kumar Singh alleged that the incident took place at 9.27 am when Khan’s son reached there in his car and asked the vendor to put fuel in his car first instead of following the queue.
“After that, he started beating the vendor while threatening him to be the MLA’s son. He took out an iron rod from the car and started beating. He also broke the card machine kept there,” the FIR stated. “To protect the seller, other employees of the petrol pump also got involved in the fight. The police were later called, but at that point he fled the scene,” he says. Singh alleged that Khan’s son later returned and threatened to beat up all the workers there and said he would close the gas station.
“He then called his father (Khan), who arrived there in a two-car convoy and threatened the pump manager saying that he (the manager) couldn’t do anything if he (Khan) starts beating him and the workers.” “Then MLA spoke to the bomb owner on phone and told him that this bomb falls in our area and if you are here to do business then do it,” Singh alleged. Meanwhile, Additional DCP (Noida) Mishra said CCTV footage is being analyzed and evidence is being collected as further legal proceedings are being carried out in the case. The FIR has been lodged under IPC sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 504 (intentionally insulting knowing that such provocation is likely to disturb public peace), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 427 (mischief).
