Hyderabad: Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi
returned to Hyderabad from London early Monday and will appear
before police in connection with a case against him for making
alleged hate speeches last month.
Akbar Owaisi arrived at the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport
here around 3 a.m. to a warm welcome by MIM leaders and hundreds
of supporters. He later drove to his house in the Banjara Hills
area of the city.
The MIM legislator will appear before police in Nirmal town in
Adilabad district, about 200 km from here, later in the day in
response to a notice issued to him for recording his statement in
connection with the alleged hate speech he delivered in the town
while addressing a public meeting.
As the MIM leader faces arrest and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
and its frontal organisations continuing their protests, police
stepped up security in Nirmal town and also in the old city of
Hyderabad. Prohibitory orders banning assembly of five or more
persons were imposed in Nirmal.
The BJP has called for a shutdown in Nirmal, where police
mobilized additional forces to maintain peace.
A police official said that all routes to the town were sealed off
and vehicles were being thoroughly checked to prevent any untoward
incident. Akbar Owaisi, is likely to appear before police along
with his elder brother and MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi and his
lawyer.
The police in Nirmal last week booked the 42-year-old MIM leader
under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 121 (waging or attempting to
wage war against the state), Section 153A (promoting enmity
between different groups on grounds of religion, race, language
and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony) and Section
295A (for deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage
religious feelings or any class by insulting its religion or
religious beliefs).
The Nizamabad police, which booked Akbar Owaisi under Section 153A
and 295A of the IPC, have also directed him to appear before them
Jan 8 for questioning with regard to a speech made by him in the
town.
The Osmania University police in Hyderabad, which registered a
case at the directions of a city court, has also summoned the
legislator Jan 10.
