In his complaint to the police, Mohd Abbas from the Atarsuiya area stated that he had given ₹1.10 lakh in cash to former MLA Parwez Ahmad around six months ago to purchase a plot of land. However, Parwez did not buy the plot nor return the money. Abbas claimed that about 20 days ago, Parwez and his two associates met him at the Karamat Ki Chowki locality in Kareli, where they threatened him with death and refused to return the money. They allegedly abused Abbas and instructed him to forget about the payment.

SHO of Kareli police station, Amarnath Rai, confirmed that an FIR has been registered based on Abbas’s complaint and further investigations are underway.

It is worth mentioning that Abbas was close to the late mafia politician Atiq Ahmad, and his house in Atarsuiya was demolished by the PDA during a drive.
