India, Sept. 22 -- Former AIMIM MP from Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Imtiaz Jaleel, has lodged a complaint with Maharashtra's director general of police (DGP) Rashmi Shukla, alleging that police officials in the district are framing him in false cases under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act at the behest of his political rivals.

In his letter dated September 19, Jaleel claimed that two false atrocity cases were registered against him - the first during the 2024 assembly election and the second soon after - under pressure from Mahayuti ministers Atul Save and Sanjay Shirsat, who hail from the same district. Both leaders, he alleged, used their influence to damage his political career and shield themselves from corruption charges.
