Maurya alleged in the FIR: "While investigating the Umesh Pal murder case and ensuring the arrest of Lala, a close associate of jailed gangster Atiq Ahmad, police have taken him into custody for quizzing. Rakesh told police he had kept a bag containing a register, one phone and two Aadhaar Cards at Atiq's old office building in Chakia locality on the directives of Atiq's wife Shaista Parveen.
"When police searched one of the rooms in the building on April 4, they recovered the bag and found two Aadhaar Cards, a phone and a register inside. Both Aadhaar Cards had photographs of Ali Ahmad with different names and addresses."
