Hyderabad: A court in Nirmal town of Andhra Pradesh Friday sent MIM leader Akbaruddin
Owaisi to five-day police custody in a hate speech case.
The magistrate's court in Nirmal town of Adilabad district, about
200 km from here, pronounced the orders, remanding the legislator
to police custody.
The Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) leader was Wednesday sent
to judicial custody for 14 days and is currently lodged in
district jail in Adilabad, some 90 km from Nirmal.
Though police sought Akbar's custody for seven days for further
questioning with regard to his Dec 22 speech in Nirmal town, the
court granted five-day custody.
Police would question Akbar Owaisi for five days from Saturday,
every day between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. It was immediately not clear
if police would question him in Adilabad or bring him to Nirmal
town.
The member of Andhra Pradesh state assembly has been charged with
sedition, waging war against the nation, criminal conspiracy and
other offences.
While seeking the legislator's custody, police said he did not
cooperate during the questioning after his arrest and they need to
further question him. Akbar's lawyer opposed the police petition
on the ground that he is not well. The magistrate directed police
to provide necessary medical help and not to subject him to
physical or mental torture.
The court adjourned to Jan 16 hearing on Akbar's petition, seeking
special prisoner status for the legislator.
Meanwhile, the MIM leader continues to face more cases. A court in
Anantapur admitted a petition filed by some Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) leaders, seeking action against him for his provocative
speeches. The court adjourned the hearing to Jan 16.
In another development, a court in Hyderabad directed Mangalhat
police station to conduct investigations and submit a report by
Feb 11. The orders were issued on a petition by Raja Singh, a
leader of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and corporator from Mangalhat.
