Owaisi hate speech: Hyderabad HC pulls up state govt, gives one week to take action
The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) government in Telangana was pulled up by the Hyderabad High Court over the delay in prosecuting Akbaruddin Owaisi.
The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen leader is under the scanner for his alleged hate speech in 2012 and the court has given a week's time to the government and police to take action.
Owaisi is an MLA from Chandrayangutta constituency and is the younger brother of AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi.
According to a Khaleej Times report, Syed Taraq Qadri had filed a petition regarding police inaction in the case.
On 22 December 2012, Owaisi, had allegedly made derogatory remarks against a community while addressing a rally in Adilabad district's Nirmal town.
An FIR was registered against him, after which he was arrested on 8 January 2013 and sent to judicial custody. However, he was later released on bail.
