The accused were booked following a complaint by four victims who alleged that they were being threatened by Zulfiqar’s aides. The victims lodged their complaint at the police window on October 28 and alleged that they were being threatened by the trio and were told to vacate the house as it was owned by the Theatre Age.
A case was registered against the trio under sections 341 (wrongful restraint), 452 (house trespass), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code at the Sector 11 police station.
