Hyderabad: An attempt of former BRS MLA Shakeel Ahmed’s son Moahmmed Raheel Ameer to go abroad from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Shamshabad was foiled by the Hyderabad police, who categorically stated that he cannot leave the country when the accident case is under the investigation.
With the help of officials of immigration wing at the RGIA, the police foiled Raheel’s attempts to visit Dubai on Thursday. He was about to board a flight to Dubai when the police stopped him informing that a case against him is still under investigation.
On April 17, Raheel surrendered before the Jubilee Hills police in connection with the 2022 hit-and-run case, following court directions. The Jubilee Hills police had earlier gathered evidence of Raheel’s role in the incident, where his SUV ran over a woman and killed her eight-month-old son at Jubilee Hills on March 18, 2022.
After a separate accident at Praja Bhavan in Somajiguda, where he crashed into a barricade, Raheel was taken for a breathalyser test. In that case, the accused reportedly attempted to evade responsibility by naming another individual. However, Punjagutta police identified Raheel as the accused using technical evidence and arrested him.
During the investigation, officers found negligence by the Punjagutta police in handling the accident case. Several police officers were transferred over allegations that they had deliberately sabotaged the probe. The investigation has been prolonged as a result.
