Shahjahanpur,
07 Jan (HS): A report has been filed under the NDPS Act at Tilhar police
station in Shahjahanpur against Farman, son of Maulana Tauqeer Raza, the main
accused in the Bareilly riots. Half a gram of crystal meth was recovered from
him. Farman, son of Maulana Tauqeer Raza, the main accused in the September
26th riots in Bareilly, is highly educated. He recently returned to the country
after completing his MBA from Australia. His name has not been involved in any
controversy so far. This is the first time he has been detained by the police.
A report has been filed against him under the NDPS Act at Tilhar police station
in Shahjahanpur in connection with the seizure of crystal meth.
According
to sources, Farman Raza Khan, Maulana Tauqeer Raza's only son, stayed away from
religious education and madrasa education. He received his early education in
convent schools, and then the Maulana sent him to Australia to pursue an MBA.
After graduating from there, Farman returned long ago, living sometimes in
Delhi and sometimes in his Bareilly residence. Farman's hobbies include going
on trips with friends and traveling in expensive cars. He is now a drug addict,
a fact he has admitted.
Farman,
a resident of Mohalla Biharipur in the Kotwali police station area of
Bareilly, was driving his car towards Bareilly on Tuesday night. His car
collided with a bus parked in front of the Kachiani Kheda Hanuman Temple on the
Lucknow-Delhi Highway in the Tilhar area of Shahjahanpur. Trapped in the car,
Farman was pulled out by people. He was extremely distraught after the
collision. However, he was not seriously injured in the accident. Upon
receiving the information, SP Rural Diksha Bhanware Arun reached the police
station and investigated.
Half
a gram of drugs was found in the packet: Farman was very nervous after the
accident. Suspicious, the police asked him to open the trunk of the car, but he
refused, making the excuse that the keys were lying somewhere. Later, when the
police showed strictness, he opened the trunk. Crystal drugs were recovered
from the bag kept in the trunk. SP Rural Diksha Bhanware Arun said that half a
gram of crystal drugs was found in a packet with Farman. On questioning, Farman
told that he had bought one gram of drugs from Delhi for personal use. He had
already used half a gram. His medical examination was done the same night. Late
in the night, the police registered a report against Farman under the NDPS Act
on the instructions of the Tilhar police station in-charge.
