Rae Bareli: FIR against sons of SP MLA for demolition

An SP MLA’s three sons have been booked for demolishing an under-construction building on the land of a government doctor in Rae Bareli’s Kotwali area Saturday.

Dr Mohammad Nasir,who joined as Additional Chief Medical Officer in Rae Bareli Tuesday,has alleged that the accused — sons of MLA from Bahraich Ram Lal Akela — demolished the under-construction building when he refused to give them money that they demanded to allow the construction.

The MLA’s sons named in FIR are Ranjeet Akela,Sonu Akela and Vikrant Akela. The FIR also names three aides,Mukesh,Sanjay,Tufail Waris Khand,and around 25 unidentified persons.

Vikrant claimed the land belonged to Khan and Dr Nasir was wrongfully laying claim to it.

“I made an agreement to buy the land from Khan around 10 days ago. I paid him Rs 50,000 in advance,” said Vikrant.

He said following Khan’s petition,a court had stayed construction on the land. Sub-Divisional Magistrate Amarpal Singh said the stay had been pending since 2011. “I warned Dr Nasir recently after coming to know he was constructing a building on the land,” said Singh.

Dr Nasir said: “I have come to know he had filed a petition but I have no knowledge on which ground. There is no stay order on the land.”
