Prophet Row Updates: Send T Raja 's Voice Sample for Forensics for Legally Strong Case Against Him, Says AIMIM's Owaisi
Tensions grip streets of Hyderabad where massive protests have erupted over suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader T Raja ‘s controversial remarks on Prophet Muhammad.
T Raja was granted bail hours after his arrest by the Hyderabad Police on Tuesday over his alleged remarks against Islam and Prophet Muhammad in a video which was later pulled down by the social media platform on which it was uploaded.
The court accepted T Raja ’s lawyer’s argument that the police did not issue notice under CrPC 41(A) to the accused before the arrest.
BJP suspended Singh from the party on Tuesday amid massive outrage over his remark. Following the dramatic turn of events, the city police stepped up security measures at sensitive locations. On Monday, the BJP MLA released a video criticising stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui, who recently performed in the city. Singh is also purportedly seen making some comments, apparently against Islam, in it.
Mild tension prevailed at the court as pro and anti-T Raja people gathered and indulged in slogan shouting, prompting police to resort to mild lathi-charge to disperse them.
