According to reports, Mohit Gurjar had a conflict with Rahul, from who he purchased a bike for Rs 50,000. The seller didn’t have the valid registration documents due to which he failed to get the bike transferred into Gurjar’s name.

Gurjar told that on September 12, he sought his money back from Rahul on which he allegedly called him to the Pilibhit Mandi Samiti gate. On the spot, MLA’s nephew Rishabh, and some other people were also present along with Rahul.

“When I reached the spot, they abused and thrashed me. They opened fire at me and I had a narrow escape. They robbed me of my gold chain, and wallet and caused serious injuries to me,” Gurjar said.

He alleged that he ran to the Assam Road police post to save his life, but the MLA, along with his supporters reached there and started beating him with shoes. The MLA also asked his supporters to force him to drink urine.

The victim further alleged that the police present there remained silent spectators. He lodged a complaint at the Sungarhi police station, but no action was taken.

Later the victim constable approached the court and the police took action after the court ordered them to lodge an FIR against the MLA and his supporters.
