The complainant, Harjeet Singh, alleged that on July 7, while heading to purchase medication, he was accosted near Utraula crossing in Balrampur by Riaz, Nawab, and Kamaluddin. The three reportedly assaulted Singh and attempted to intimidate him into retracting a statement made against Chhangur Baba on July 3 in Lucknow.

Singh further claimed he was threatened with death if he refused to comply. Police have registered a case against the accused under pertinent legal sections and initiated a probe.
