Nirmal The Andhra Pradesh Police on Wednesday sought seven-day custody of MIM legislator Akbaruddin Owaisi after he was remanded in 14-day judicial custody in Adilabad district following his arrest in a “hate speech” case.

Nirmal Police, which is investigating the case, filed a petition in the Nirmal Munsif Magistrate court seeking seven days custodial interrogation of Akbaruddin as part of further probe, Karimnagar Range Deputy Inspector General (DIG) R Bhimanayak said.

Nirmal town police suo moto booked a case on January 3 against Akbaruddin for his alleged provocative speech under IPC Section 121 (waging or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against the government of India) and 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, language etc. and doing acts prejudicial to maintenance of harmony).

However, police later slapped another five sections of IPC in the remand report today.

After thorough questioning of Akbaruddin by the investigating officer last night at Nirmal town police station, five additional sections including of 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 295A (deliberate and malicious acts intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 124A (sedition), 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and section 505 of IPC, were added.

“It was after police inquiry and based on evidence that fresh sections have been added,” the DIG said.

After magistrate orders, Akbaruddin was taken to Adilabad district jail, police said.

The FIRs were registered suo moto at Adilabad and Nizamabad districts after the legislator had allegedly used inflammatory and derogatory language against a particular community during his public speeches last month while the Osmania University Police in Hyderabad booked him subsequently following a court directive.

Meanwhile, security was beefed up at Nirmal town and surrounding areas of the court and in other parts of Adilabad district even as unidentified persons pelted stones on OB vans of two news channels.

Meanwhile, a bandh was being observed in Adilabad and Nizamabad districts even as shops and business establishments in several localities of old city in Hyderabad remained closed.

The Adilabad and Nizamabad district units of MIM had called for a bandh to protest the arrest of their leader and MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi by Nirmal Police.

The bandh was peaceful so far in both the districts, sources said.

Supporters of the MIM leader took out rallies and raised slogans protesting the arrest of Akbaruddin.

Police have already imposed prohibitory orders in Nirmal town and other parts of Adilabad district and Nizamabad as a precautionary measure.

Hindu never disrespect other s by Hindu on 02 Mar 2013

Am sorry to say this but i know many Muslim kids who are thought against Hindus by their religious gurus ...but in a Hindu family you will never see any one disrespectn any other religion . We respect all . So should Muslims do .politicians just use innocent people and always poor and ueducated to get their re

Truth hurts by sb on 30 Jan 2013

When Vinay Katiyar or Thackreys say anything against Islam or Christianity no one arrests them. But when Akbaruddin said the truth, he gets arrested. It's hypocrisy not a democracy.

reply by Abdul on 11 Jan 2013

Dear Mr. Ram, You had stated that Muslims react most violently, pl see gujarat after godhra and also BABRI MASJID and say who is more violent. I need not say that these two incidents are now partof HISTORY.

nothing by xx on 10 Jan 2013

All MLAs need to take an oath stating that they would protect the tenets of the constitution. Akbaruddin is an MLA while Togadia is not. The preamble of the constitution mentions 'secularism' as one of its pillars. Hence, he should be stripped off his assembly membership.

akbaruddin nirmal comment by Abbas Ali on 10 Jan 2013

What was the police doing when Praveen thogadia openly said India must be cleansed off muslims? like (Fasal hojane ke baadh kaat dia jataha hia) What was the police doing when Bal thakrey, advani, bhajrangdal etc were giving inflammatory speeches? Bytheway, so many organizations to protect Hindu interests? so insecure? u are the majority people and u need so many armed and political organizations for ur safety? how sick. grow up people. every action has a reaction. this speech is the reaction of the illegal temple extension (against court orders) under charminar.

Reply, to Biased Insian Law implementers by indian on 09 Jan 2013

IF you%u2019re thinking, owaisi protecting minorities, its really foolishness. Its big threat to minorities. minority people should exclude him from their community. A simple logic, he is saying there are 25cr minority people, 25cr can never be consider as minority. pak says kasab is not from pakistan, who told owaisi that he is from pak to confirm in hits comments like that. Does he ISI agent working offshore?? while kasab shooting people in mumbai he didn't check, does he belongs to muslim or hindu. How can this person talk like that in kasab case? He should be banned from India.

Biased indian law implementers. by true on 09 Jan 2013

Owaisi is 100% correct.If BJP exists in india monorities need Owaisi always to protect themselves.Indian biased law implementers won't bring justice to minority community.

every1 has same law in india so every indivisual responsibilty is to behave like a human not to spread hatred in society by stiwar on 09 Jan 2013

I fail to understand that y ppl think that minorites have diff laws in INDIA..as far as I know all of us has same laws and minorities has additinal law that is darul ulum...so I guess they should not compalian again n again and should show some kind of responsibilty towards sociaety instied of complaing

hate speech by MLA by krish on 09 Jan 2013

As we are in INDIA,one has right to speak anything. That doesn't mean he can speak whatever he want.It is a shock that a person in that respectful position has given that hate speech. He should have little careful in making any comments like that. The person who has to take measures to prevent them shouldn't react in that way. The measures should be taken to prevent these type of hate speeches..

hate owiasi by k.kashanna on 09 Jan 2013

But the owaisi brothers public in till they are pathetic situation.leaders are living in posh areas voters are living in slum areas without drinking water and sanitation.they never think improvig amenities. k.kashanna

Media Did Not Highlight This. Media Didnt Highlight That. by Ram(and now never ever Rahim) on 09 Jan 2013

Media did not highlight. Media did not highlight that. That seems to be the common refrain of many who comment. As if media were some elder brother and the mass keeper of conscience. As if the decibel level in the media is one indication of the agitation by a society? of the gravity of the crime? And who the hell is media anyway? Do you want the media to keep hanging the Modi/Togadia statements everyday so that u can look at it and be satisfied? Do you want them to devote daily pages to these elements? Part 2 continued.

Dividing Indians for selfish goals by krishna on 09 Jan 2013

Gandhiji vs Owaisi Gandhiji told if any body slaps you show other side dont qurrel with him, what Owaisi is telling first quarrel,beat ,destroy and come to me. Swami Vivkananda Vs Owasisi : Vivkananda address World Religious Summiit my brothers and sisters. Owaisi: Give 15 minutes time we will show our power to 100 crores Hindus. Whether MIM,RSS,VHP or anybody who creates problems to common man should be punished severly. If one is punished then no one will dare to comment on other religions.

Justice should be for all by patriot indian on 09 Jan 2013

Power of speech is really wonderful. It can make a devil a king or leader even devil can dream of becoming PM of our nation. We have plenty of such examples like Owaisi, Abu Asim Azmi, Narendra Modi, Advani, Parvin Tagodia, Raj Thackery, later Bal Thackery, subramaniam swamy etc. All such speeches should be condemned and punished. I only wonder why only the minority community people get bashing and arrests ??? When parvin tagodia, subramaniam swamy, advani, modi make hate speeches, it is called controversial speech and never ever get arrested even though they made more worse speech ??? but or media also biasedly term minority community speech as HATE speech even if is controversial. It really shows and add credibility to Owaisi's speech that minority community is reacting only to the continued injustice to them since the independence ??? Is our law and courts only there to punish minorities only ? Unless justice is delivered to all, timely, honestly without any biase of religion, majority or minority, these kind of controversies will raise their heads. My suggestion is either to ignore such speeches as cruel joke or humor or punish all irrespective of religion.

Owaisi's hate speech by ABDUL KADER on 09 Jan 2013

You are absolutely right Mr.Patriot, the way government creating more and more terrorists in minority community by doing injustice to them.

Re by Neel on 09 Jan 2013

His speech was against Indians

eye opener by nagu on 09 Jan 2013

Who reacts to whom? Why such reaction now from MIM? When MIM became a secular party? Why MIM is opposing the temple repairs, now near charminar? What is the meaning of islamic patriotism? Does islam support democracy and separation of powers Is it not to delay Telangana? the fear of existence after telangana is the cause. Patriotic muslims should understand this cruel. sadisitic postures of MIM and opposite it openly. Please do not become prey to MIM which use the religion for the personal ends and land grabbings.

You are afraid of reality!!! by Sandyk on 09 Jan 2013

I'm not heard other names you mentioned said that they want to crush other religion.. They never called Kasab 'Baccha'.. And they never supported Porkistan!!! I'm not a supporter of MNS, VHS etc.. but someone should be ashamed while calling others impotent.. Some minority people openly support Porkistan and he's one of them !!!

Justice should be for all by Mred on 09 Jan 2013

Law of the land applies to everybody whether its minority or majority.As far as i know bal thackery and varun gandhi both have been banned from contesting elections.Well i dont think it appropriate for you to categorize islam as minority community in India, India has the third-largest Muslim population and the largest Muslim population for a non-Muslim majority country.According to me he should nt be jailed he should just be banned from contesting elections..

Really??? by Indian on 09 Jan 2013

Which one of these (Advani, Modi, Togadia, Thackreys, Swamy) has cllled Army and police impotent? Who has challenged to show the strength? The truth is, minority is trying to become majority and wherever they are more in numbers, like Hyderabad, J&K the life of local minorities is pathetic.

Balance and Equation by Ram(and never ever Rahim) on 09 Jan 2013

You mean to say the MLA of a party well-known in Hyderabad for its thuggery be let off? Man, have some sense of balance. Did Togadiya and the likes attack Kaba, Allah, Mohammed or Quran. Did they say Mohammed was a pedophile in the open? Did they say Islam was spread in Saudi through the sword and that the so called Prophet himself led the army of new Muslims? Get a life man. It is well known that Muslims react most violently to even the slightest slur on their religion. It is the sanity of the Hindu masses that they have not done violent acts like attack MIM men, burn down their party offices, flags, and boycott those Hindus who still act as corporators of MIM? If you want reason, there is no community that is as reasonable as Hindus. And whatever is the fevered imagination of the Muslims against Modi and other leaders, they dont attack Islam. They attack the petty mindsets of Islamits, that they, and many agree, seek domination by all means possible of a majority and through political parties that are only too eager to curry favour.

hate speech in adilabad by neeta chaturvedi on 09 Jan 2013

Now since the honourable MLA in custody - he can utilise the time in understanding what he said and what he meant and what he wants. Only he can come with the truth. also government must now take care of the bullet trapped in the leg ? now the big question is - from where the bullet had come and got lodged. anyone for the answer ??

bullet by Mred on 09 Jan 2013

Well he got shot and stabbed in feud by a rival muslim group in a property related issue.

Put Ban on MIM by Pankaj Bajaj on 09 Jan 2013

MIM should be banned as it is disturbing the peace and calmness of the country. People like Owaisi should be hanged immediately as they are motivating the social evils.

True by guypeaceful on 09 Jan 2013

True. So should Raj Thackery, Narendar Modi and others irrespective of the religion or status should be.

Hindus and Muslims have to see beyond the likes of Owaisi by sateesh on 09 Jan 2013

The likes of Mr owaisi do no good to either the muslims or to the country. The speech challenges the pillars of the sentiments on which India came into existence. Challenging another community and asking for a battle is a stupid mind set. Nobody Hindu or Muslim will gain from such a battle....but Mr Owaisi and his family will stay away from action only to emerge as rulers.....at the cost of lakhs of muslims and hindus....INDIANS !!!. We all must concentrate on educating our children and getting them to be prosperous....that is possible only in a peaceful India. It is a well known fact that these false leaders are only looking for our votes an will do anything to garner them. If muslims mps and mlas set an example by being honest and incorruptible, then they will rule India without any doubt but they cant win India by inciting violence and creating a sense of hostility between the various Indians.

causing communal disorder???? by Pathfinder on 09 Jan 2013

Yogi Adityanath - " If One Hindu Is Killed, We Will Kill 10 Muslims" Pravin Togadia - " If one hindu pandit is even touched , We Will Kill 10 crore Muslims" Varun Gandhi - " My Hands Will Cut The Heads Of Muslims" Pravin Togadia - " If People are Stopped From Going To Bhagyalaxmi Mandir, I Will Turn Hyderabad Into Ayodhya" Bal Thackeray - " Muslims are Spreading Like Cancer And Should Be Eliminated From The Society " Pravin Togadia - " Boycott Travelling in Taxis Of Muslims, Boycott Buying Things From Muslim Shops And BoycottThe Quran" Uma Bharti, Advani, Vajpayee And MurliManohar Joshi delivered hate speeches against muslims which created communal violences throughout the nation on 5th December 1992 .They Also Influenced people to Demolish Babri Masjid ! Why Media never Displayed That? Bloody Double Standards. If nation is disturbed by such speech, the person should be prosecuted as per law? btw marketing? & causing communal disorder????

Hate Speech by MLA AP. by Ramesh Nayak on 09 Jan 2013

In the name of secular democracy Corrupt Congress to get favor from minority never take action even at the interest of the country which is most unfortunate.Since Sonia belong to minority prefer mostly non Hindu for posts and position.Also she likes only her slaves and servants not upright and honest leaders.Our PM and Ex President Prativa Patil.Since last 2 years it is proved the UPA is full of scams and price rise .God can only save our country.The congress state in AP could take action only when Jagan did not join hand with congress even the party knows very well more then 70000 crores corrupted by YSR and his son.For a eye wash the ED could now frame for 143 crores which is 1%.Similarly the MIM MLA of AP a hate speech which to divide our country against Hindus since 10 days the Govt kept silent a shame to the country and people.A 1.2 Billion people country has Hindus 80% ie 100 crores but is ruled by a Italian born Catholic Christian as head of the rulling party and a Sikh is PM
