Serious allegations leveled against Shamshuddin Raine
Arshad Rana says, ‘On December 18, 2018, the in-charge of the Legislative Assembly seats of the district was to be appointed at the district office, Muzaffarnagar. A day or two before this, BSP’s Western Uttar Pradesh in-charge Shamshuddin Raine said that you will be appointed as a candidate for Charthawal assembly seat. For this you will have to pay some money, for which I had agreed.
The candidate was made on the platform of BSP party
Arshad Rana alleges that on the date fixed after this, in the presence of Chief Coordinator of Saharanpur Division Naresh Gautam, former minister Premchand Gautam, Satyaprakash, Cardinator and then District President Muzaffarnagar Satpal Kataria etc., on the date fixed for 2022, the Legislative Assembly of the BSP was on the party’s stage. The candidate was declared to contest the election. Along with this, full assurance was given that go to your area and do your work.
Gave 67 lakh rupees to Shamshuddin Raine: Rana
Arshad Rana said, ‘4 lakh 50 thousand rupees and then 50 thousand rupees were taken to appoint a candidate for the assembly constituency. After this three installments of Rs 15-15 lakh were taken.’ Arshad further said, ‘Even after this, little by little, 17 lakh rupees were taken by Shamshuddin Rain, in-charge of Western Uttar Pradesh in the presence of Satpal Kataria and Naresh Gautam. He gave full confidence that you have been appointed as the candidate for Charthaval assembly seat and you should work hard with all your heart.
‘BSP District President Satish Kumar asked for 50 lakh rupees’
Arshad Rana alleged, ‘Now when the date of election is announced, I asked BSP district president Satish Kumar for a ticket from the party to contest from Charthaval assembly constituency, he said that you will have to arrange another 50 lakh rupees, for which he agreed. But in spite of this, Salman Saeed was declared a candidate on Charthawal Legislative Assembly.
Threatened to commit suicide if justice is not given
