Recent revelations from Ayodhya police records have brought to light the extensive criminal history of Moeed Khan, a local resident who was recently acquitted in a high-profile rape case. The documents detail a pattern of alleged offences spanning over a decade, painting a troubling picture of his involvement in serious crimes across Uttar Pradesh.
Decade-Long Criminal Trail Uncovered
According to official police documents accessed by authorities, Moeed Khan's first recorded case dates back to 2012. This initial incident involved charges under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including those related to rioting, unlawful assembly, murder, and criminal intimidation. The case set the stage for what would become a recurring pattern of legal entanglements for Khan in the years that followed.
Escalating Legal Troubles
In 2013, the situation escalated when authorities registered a case against Moeed Khan under Sections 3 and 4 of the Uttar Pradesh Goonda Act. This legislation is specifically designed to target habitual offenders who pose a threat to public order. The following year, in 2014, proceedings were initiated under Section 110G of the Criminal Procedure Code, officially branding him as a habitual offender requiring preventive surveillance by law enforcement agencies.
The criminal allegations continued to accumulate over the years. In 2023, another serious case was registered against Khan under multiple IPC sections including 147, 323, 325, 504, and 506. These charges encompassed allegations of rioting, various degrees of assault, and criminal intimidation, further complicating his legal standing in the eyes of the authorities.
Recent Acquittal Amid Serious Charges
Most recently, in 2024, Moeed Khan found himself named in a particularly grave case involving allegations of gang rape and criminal intimidation. However, in a significant legal development, he was subsequently acquitted of all charges related to this case. This acquittal has brought renewed attention to his extensive criminal background, raising questions about the judicial process and the challenges of dealing with repeat offenders in the Indian legal system.
Pattern of Alleged Offences
The police records reveal a consistent pattern of alleged criminal behavior spanning more than ten years. The range of offences documented includes:
- Murder charges from early cases
- Multiple instances of rioting and unlawful assembly
- Gang-related offences as indicated by the UP Goonda Act proceedings
- Various cheating allegations throughout the years
- Assault and intimidation charges across different cases
This comprehensive documentation by Ayodhya police provides valuable insight into how law enforcement agencies track and monitor individuals with extensive criminal histories, even when specific charges may not result in convictions. The case highlights the complex interplay between criminal records, legal proceedings, and public safety concerns in contemporary Indian society.
