Udaipur: Mohammed Umar, the house owner of Riyaz Attari, the accused arrested in the Kanhaiyalal murder case was interrogated by the police and NIA in Bhilwara in Rajasthan, on Wednesday, while he had no idea that his tenant could ever commit a hideous crime.
Udaipur police have questioned Umar where he admitted that Attari was staying at the house since 12 June but he (the landlord) had no idea of his actions as he mostly stays outside. It was Attari's wife who had come seeking a room and all the communication was done by her. Since the room was empty, he rented it out to Attari's family, which consisted of him, his wife, and their two children.
"I left for work at around 10:30 and by that time, he was at home with his family as a normal day but by the time I came back, he was gone with his family and people started to question me. The police came for investigation and even took me to the police station for questioning. We even tried to call him but his phone was out of reach. I had no idea this would happen if I knew I would never let him stay here at all," said Umar.
