BAREILLY: In a bizarre incident, Anas Qureshi , who is former bodyguard of actor Salman Khan , was taken into police custody after he created a ruckus on a busy road in Moradabad on Thursday. Qureshi had consumed an overdose of steroids and lost his mind due to the side-effects of the drug. After some passers-by alerted the police, cops arrived on the scene but they had to make a lot of effort to overpower him using ropes and a fishing net. He was taken to the district hospital from where he was referred to Bareilly mental hospital.On Thursday morning, local residents were shocked and frightened to see a bare-chested Qureshi roughing up pedestrians and hurling bricks at the vehicles. He later got hold of an iron rod and vandalized several cars parked on the stretch. A video of the incident, which later went viral, shows hundreds of people along with local police and fire brigade team trying to get hold of the bodybuilder.According to his neighbours, Qureshi, who works as a bouncer in Mumbai, used to serve as part of Salman Khan’s private security headed by Shera until around two years ago.
