In fresh trouble for MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, arrested on sedition charges, a court in Nizamabad today directed police to produce him before January 19 in another `hate speech’ case, while a court in Medak sought his presence in a 2005 case of rioting.
\nOn January 8, Owaisi was arrested by Nirmal town police in Adilabad district for an allegedly objectionable speech that targeted a particular community. He was charged with sedition and criminal conspiracy, among other offences.<\/p>\n
Nizamabad police\u00a0have also registered a case against the MIM legislator for a speech delivered at a rally on December 8 in the town. Nizamabad Judicial Magistrate’s court ordered today that he be produced, in response to `Prisoner Transit Warrant’ filed by local police, as Owaisi is currently lodged in Adilabad prison in Nirmal case.<\/p>\n
The Medak District Court also directed Patancheru police to produce Owaisi before it in a seven-year-old case.<\/p>\n
This case had been registered against Owaisi, his brother and Hyderabad MP\u00a0Asaduddin Owaisi\u00a0and 21 others in 2005 under IPC sections 153 (A) (`promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion’), 147 (rioting) and 186 (obstructing public servant), etc.<\/p>\n
It followed a protest by MIM against demolition of a mosque at Muttangi village during Hyderabad-Mumbai National Highway widening.<\/p>\n
Medak police\u00a0officials may leave for Adilabad to take custody of the jailed legislator tomorrow, police said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the court at Nirmal today accorded `special prisoner’ status to Owaisi responding to his application, while remanding him in judicial remand till January 22.<\/p>\n
Nirmal court had earlier granted five-day custody of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen MLA, from January 12 to January 16, to the police.<\/p>\n
But he was produced in the court early morning today, a day before his police remand ended. He was sent back in judicial custody till January 22.<\/p>\n
“Owaisi did not cooperate during custodial interrogation and same was informed to the court,” a senior police official said, adding that “we have recorded his statement.”<\/p>\n
