In a major development in the alleged assault case against
Salman Khan's bodyguard,
Shera
, the Bandra police investigating the case has concluded that the complaint registered against him by
Attar Umar Qureshi
is fake and an attempt to blackmail.
Qureshi had alleged that Shera had broken his collar bone by hitting him with the butt of a pistol after the bodyguard had a heated argument with Qureshi's friend over the phone on October 25.Shera was later detained by the DN Nagar police and booked under IPC 326, 503 and 504.
Before heading to the police station, Shera gave a statement saying it had been a verbal argument and not a physical fight.'On Tuesday, I went to meet a friend at Kokilaben Hospital and from there to Pop Tate's which is where we had the verbal argument. I didn't get down from my car so there is no question of hitting anyone,' he asserted.
During the questioning, Shera told the cops that someone had tried to stop his car around 2 am near
Amitabh Bachchan's Juhu bungalow. When he didn't stop, he'd deliberately fallen down on the road in front of the car.
'We started searching for witnesses and came across taxi and auto-drivers who in their statement reiterated that someone had fallen down on the road to stop a car and injured himself in the process,' a senior police officer told Mirror.
He added that when Qureshi was confronted with this evidence, he admitted that after the argument with Shera on the phone, he'd planned to beat him up that night and file a complaint to spoil his image. The cops believe that Qureshi thought this would in turn tarnish Shera's boss and actor Salman Khan's reputation and give him a chance to extort money from him.
The police will now file a summary report in this case against Qureshi for filing a false complain.
