The witness, Muslim Shaikh, received two phone calls from an unidentified person who asked him to accept Rs five lakh and keep away from the case, a police officer told PTI.
The incident was brought to the notice of the court trying the hit-and-run case, which in turn asked cops to conduct inquiry and submit a report. "The unidentified caller told the witness that 'paanch lakh le lo aur bhag jao' (take Rs five lakh and run away)," said a police officer.
However, even after Shaikh disconnected the call, he got another call in which the person repeated the offer, following, which Shaikh disconnected the phone call again. The caller rang him up again but Shaikh did not attend the phone call, the officer added.
