Imam alleges that his son Miraj alias Rinku is a rowdy which provoked Imam to evict Miraj from his property. Miraj once tried to sell the elephants in conjunction with the animal smugglers.

Talking about the time when the elephants saved his life, Imam told that his pets saw a man with a pistol approaching his residence one night. It was then, when Moti and Rani started trumpeting and made Imam aware of the man trying to kill him.

Imam has handed over half the property worth five crores to his wife and devised his share of the property to the elephants of Erawat Institution. After Akhtar’s death, if both elephants die, their property will go to the institution. None of Imam’s family members will be benefited from his will.
