“We received a complaint from Nawab Ali, a resident of Loni border. He alleged that following a conspiracy, a fake case was registered against him. Along with other persons, the police personnel were pressuring him for money,” said Upendra Agarwal, SSP (Ghaziabad).
As per the complaint, on March 23, a woman was allegedly sent to Nawab Ali’s house by the accused. The woman said she wanted to see a certain flat, but Ali refused as a family wedding was taking place there.

Ali was later called to Indrapuri chowki where Ashutosh and Sharma informed him that a case of rape had been registered against him by the woman.
