The police in Bhopal were shocked to learn on Monday that the tent businessman who was brutally attacked with rods and sticks, and shot at in Talaiyya of the city in broad daylight had received a ransom call a few days prior. The businessman, Nawaz Riyaz, is currently undergoing treatment at a private hospital.
CS Rathore, the Station House Officer of Talaiyya Police Station, revealed that the attack had occurred on Sunday afternoon. Unidentified masked miscreants had stormed into Nawaz's tent shop and subjected him to a vicious beating. One of them had even fired a gunshot at him, but luckily he was rushed to the hospital in time by his brother Faraz Riyaz.
Faraz informed the police that he had been involved in a dispute with Amir, a listed criminal who had recently been released from jail. The argument was about the shop that Faraz had bought in 2018 in Talaiyya. Amir had laid claim to it, claiming that he had already paid the earnest money to purchase the shop. After confronting the former owner, however, Faraz found out that Amir had no such rights.
Faraz then revealed to the police that Nawaz had received a WhatsApp call and several messages from an unknown person. The caller had identified himself as a member of a Dubai-based gang and stated that Nawaz should pay Rs 1 crore to them or he would be attacked on December 3. The threat had come true and Nawaz was attacked on that day. The police are currently investigating the matter and attempting to identify the caller.
