Police are lying, I was well within time: Akbaruddin Owaisi

After Santosh Nagar police booked a case against All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) Floor leader Akbaruddin Owaisi, the Chandrayangutta legislator maintained that the public meeting was organised only after obtaining valid permissions and that he was well within the time limit as prescribed by the authorities.

Mr. Owaisi told the media on Wednesday, “The police are lying. I have videos, I have the footage. He [inspector] climbed the steps, and got onto the stage.”

Explaining that there was still time left, he added, “Do we not know the rules and regulations of how much time we have? The time was till 10 p.m. If the speech went on after 10 p.m., then they have the right to book a case against me as per law.”
