e-rickshaw driver Mohd Gulfam, fed up over extortion and robbery, tried to kill himself when nobody paid heed to his complaints, claimed locals.
However, SP (Badaun) BK Singh said Gulfam was stressed because of a female relative, who had filed an FIR against him on December 30 over a family dispute.
“Two days ago, my e-rickshaw and ₹2,200 were snatched from me. The police did not register an FIR. The CO threatened to send me to jail under Narcotics, Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act,” Gulfam told media persons.
