Police get Owaisi's custody

NIRMAL: : Nirmal munsif magistrate K Ajesh Kumar on Friday granted the local police five days custody of MIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi. Arrested for delivering hate speeches on January 8, Akbaruddin has been lodged in the Adilabad district jail and is on judicial remand till January 22.

The Nirmal police had sought 7-day custody of the MLA but the magistrate granted them 5- day custody beginning Saturday. The cops can question Akbaruddin from 10 am to 5 pm every day till January 17 when he should be produced before the court.

According to sources, the cops want to record Akbaruddin's voice and match it with the videos in which the MLA is seen delivering the speech at a public meeting in Nirmal on December 22, 2012. A police team led by Nirmal rural circle inspector A Raju will question Akbaruddin in the Armed Reserve police headquarters in Adilabad town.

Meanwhile, a team of doctors from Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) led by its superintendent Suresh Chandra conducted a health check-up on Akbaruddin after he complained of a pain in the stomach on Friday. After the check-up, the doctors said the pain in the stomach could be due to the food served in the jail and added that the MLA's condition was stable.

Earlier in the day, All India Human Rights Association state wing secretary Bahuddin Akbatull Hussain met Akabaruddin in the jail. However, the jail authorities refused 'mulaqat' permission to MIM MLA Mumtaz Khan, who wanted to meet Akbar. In other developments, Akbar's plea for special category prisoner status was listed for hearing on January 16.
