AHMEDABAD: Four persons, including a woman, during the wee hours on Saturday stopped a Rajasthan man ferrying sheep and goats in his truck to Ranip Bakra Mandi and attacked him allegedly for money and threatened to implicate him in a legal case.
Sabir Khan, 33, a resident of Khokha village in Jalore district of Rajasthan, said in his FIR filed with Chandkheda police on Sunday that he usually comes to the city to sell the livestock.
On Friday night, he left his village in Rajasthan to Ranip Bakra Mandi to sell around 170 sheep and goats. He said that at around 5am on Saturday, an unknown man sitting on a scooter accompanied by three others, including a woman in a car, stopped him.
As Khan stopped his truck for them, the man sitting on the scooter approached him and asked for money for ferrying the livestock.
“I told them that I had the licence for ferrying the livestock, but they continued to threaten me with a police case,” said Khan in his FIR.
He said that the woman, whom others were addressing as Aabeda ma’am, told him to call his friends and relatives with Rs 5 lakh else his vehicles will not be released.
Khan called a person named Rahim to come to his rescue, but as he did not have money, the four persons beat Khan and snatched Rs 25,000 from him.
Khan later approached the Chandkheda police and filed a complaint of extortion, illegal confinement, causing hurt, using abusive words, criminal intimidation and abetment against four persons. Three of them were identified as Aabeda Shaikh, Sabir Shaikh, Hozefa Tirmizi, stated the FIR.
