The police officer said that on October 9, the police received information about a fight over possession of a property. As soon as the information was received, SI Ravi Poonia reached the spot. Sanjay Kumar and Tohid Malik present there claimed ownership of the property. Tohid could not produce the ownership document.

The accused came to Dayalpur police station and threatened the station in-charge.

During interrogation it was revealed that he was not the OSD of the Home Minister but a fraudster. To earn money he started cheating.

About 10-15 days ago, Taj Mohammed and Ravi came to him and told that Toheed and he had made forged documents to take possession of a property in Brijpuri, Delhi, but the police were not letting them go inside.
