One of the three Surat rape case accused, Shahid Saiyad’s father Inspector Nizamuddin Saiyad has condemned his son’s act.

Nizamuddin Saiyad is circle police inspector in Dholka town near Ahmedabad. His son Shahid had used his Opel Astra car in rape incident. Saiyad was in Surat on the day of rape incident, far away from Dholka.

Inspector Saiyad had switched off his mobile phone soon after his son’s arrest, however he was traceable today.

Saiyad, talking to media said, “Yesterday, Shahid was brought into the court, but no one from our family went there. We are not going to seek bail for him in future.”

Shahid was badly beaten by the public when he was brought for medical check up on Saturday in the Civil hospital.

Shahid runs mobile phone shop ‘M.R.Electronics’ in Janta market. Shahid’s elder brother Nadir Saiyad is policeman in Godhra. His uncle JG Saiyad is Police Inspector in Banaskantha. His grand father Gulam Rasool is retired constable.

Surat police has deployed policemen to guard Saiyad’s residence in Surat, seeing possibilities of backlash by the people of the city. Police has also given protection to two other accused, Tareek Saiyad and Abu Bakar according to sources.
