New Delhi, May 2 (PTI) The police have arrested three associates of a man who staged an attack on himself to implicate two persons in order to take revenge from them, officials said on Monday.

The three associates have been identified as Kamrudeen (38), Swayambhu Swami (34) and Rahish (40), they said, adding the fourth and main accused Bhure (35) would also be nabbed soon.

The trio along with Bhure had planned and conspired to take revenge from Mehfooz and Fahim by falsely implicating them in a case of firing as planned by them, police said.

Bhure staged the attack on himself and then made someone inform the police about the firing on the Mata Sundry Road here, officials said.

Bhure was shifted to the LNJP Hospital. A cartridge case and blood stains were also found at the crime scene, they said.

Based on Bhure’s statement, a case was registered under 307(attempt to murder), 195A (threatening any person to give false evidence), 120B (criminal conspiracy) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code and other relevant section of Arms Act at IP Estate police station, Shweta Chauhan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) said.

From the CCTV camera footage and with the help of local enquiry, it was not clearly made out that the assailants were Mehfooz and Fahim, she added. Finally, the the CDR analysis of Rahish, one of the close associates of Bhure, led to the real accused, police said.

During interrogation, Rahish revealed that they wanted to send Mehfooz to jail as he had been granted protection by a court in a previous case, police said.

So, he along with Bhure, Kamrudeen and Swayambhu Swami hatched a conspiracy to attack Bhure and put the blame on Mehfooz and Fahim, the DCP said.
