AIMIM President and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi and four MLAs of his party, including his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi were acquitted today in the 2005 Muthangi Masjid demolition case by Medak’s Sangareddy Court.
After the verdict was announced, Asaduddin Owaisi took to Twitter questioning Congress’ reaction after this pronouncement. He asked if the party will apologise for allowing the demolition of the masjid without due process of the law.
He tweeted, “Will Congi leaders have courtesy to apologise they were in power 2005 false case reg, they allowed masjid demolition w/o due process of law.”
Asaduddin Owaisi, his brother Akbaruddin Owaisi, Ahmed Pasha Khadri, Mumtaz Ahmed Khan and Muazzam Khan were booked by the police on March 16, 2005, for obstructing officials from demolishing a mosque to facilitate road extension at Muttangi village.
Asaduddin Owaisi had surrendered before court on January 21, 2013, and was sent to jail after the court dismissed his petition for cancellation of the non-bailable warrant pending against him. The AIMIM chief was later granted bail in the case.
