AAP MLA Amanatullah Khan, son booked for ‘assaulting, threatening’ Noida petrol pump staff

“Amanatullah Khan’s son came to the filling station in his Brezza car at around 9.27 am. He did not wait in the queue, and then abused the salesman while forcing him to fill in petrol in his car first. He threatened the salesman and said he was an MLA’s son. Then, he took out an iron rod from the car and started beating him up. He broke the card machine too… Police reached the filling station and the son dialed MLA Amanatullah Khan and gave the phone to the petrol pump manager. The MLA abused the manager and threatened him. Later, the MLA came to the filling station… and threatened the manager that even if he beats the staff, nothing will happen to him,” read the FIR.

A video of the incident, meanwhile, has gone viral on social media.

Manish Kumar Mishra, additional DCP of Noida, said that further investigation is underway and legal action is being taken.

Mentioning that he was called to the petrol pump by a police officer after the altercation, Khan alleged: “They have only released a small clip of the video. My son had gone to the petrol pump to refuel his car. As my son was getting late for his exam, he asked them to attend to him quickly. A fight broke out between them… The full video will show the sequence of events… I was called to the filling station by police, and on reaching, I spoke to everyone involved and everything was sorted out. After we left, they registered an FIR and alleged that I went there to threaten them… I had gone there only because the police officer had called me.”
