Lucknow, July 18 (SocialNews.XYZ) Uttar Pradesh Congress leader, Abdul Maroof Khan, his wife and others have been booked in a case of extortion, forgery and tampering with government documents and giving threats.
The case was registered on Monday.
Maroof had contested the 2017 assembly polls from Lucknow Central constituency as the Congress candidate and lost.
The complainant, Muhammad Gulfam Siraj of Old Vegetable market, said he was the owner of a piece of land in which Maroof was the tenant of a shop measuring 250 square metres.
Siraj said Maroof and others spread rumour that the building which housed Maroof’s shop was the enemy property.
