Police sources said the entire turn-around of facts was reportedly done at the behest of a local Congress leader, who wanted to fix his opponents-the accused in the case dock. The former councillor will soon be called for questioning, the sources said. According to a complaint lodged with the Versova police by deceased Rehmat Shah’s family, the accused, who run a carom club, allegedly got into a fight with the victim. They had a long standing dispute over the SRA issue and they had lodged complaints against each other at the police station. Shah’s family claimed that he was assaulted with sticks and then set on fire in front of the slum. However, no one came in front to help him or doused off the fire. Shah was rushed to the Cooper hospital, where he was declared brought dead. “Rehmat called me on my cell phone for help, but then it got cut. The phone was found in the morning in a burnt state,” Shah’s brother Ahmed Hassan said. However, witnesses told the police that they saw Shah in flames running out of his house, while one of his sisters was running behind him. The locals told the police that there was a property dispute between between Rehmat and his sister Rehana. The duo would often fight openly and on few occasions, Shah had threatened to kill himself. The cops now suspect that Shah could have possibly set himself on fire during a similar fight. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counselling not our cup of tea:cops Mumbai police have decided that sorting marital problems is not their cup of tea.
