A local court ordered the Ghaziabad police to register a criminal case against its SHO and others who claimed to have arrested a wanted criminal Amir in an encounter on June 28, 2019. The police had claimed that Amir was a wanted criminal carrying a reward of Rs 15,000 on his head.

Contradicting the police theory, Amir's sister Yasmin filed a petition in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) Ghaziabad in which she stated that the Vijay Nagar police had concocted a false story against her brother.
