MIM MLA opens fire in Abids
Demolition of an illegal floor of a building on Chapel Road in Abids by civic officials on Saturday morning led to tension with Karwan MLA Mohammed Muqtada Khan alias Afsar Khan firing two rounds in the air. Later, the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) legislator along with another party MLA went to the Abids police station and lodged complaints against the civic officials. With news spreading that the duo were ‘detained’, other MIM legislators and activists protested in front of the police station, clogging the Chapel Road-Abids, Chermas-Koti, L B Stadium-Khan Latif Khan stretches.
The four-hour drama put motorists and pedestrians to severe hardship. Being Saturday, most schools functioned for only half day.
School buses and autos were stranded for four long hours, prompting some school students to plead with traffic police to ‘get them out of the mess’.
The trouble began at about 10.30 am when, as part of dismantling illegal houses, 35 personnel of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) town planning wing began demolition of a property owned by Mir Ahmed Ali, who is constructing a building near J B Hospital on Chapel road. GHMC officials booked
Hyderabad: Demolition of an illegal building in Abids by GHMC town planning personnel sparked trouble on Saturday after the owner of the property called up Asif Nagar MLA Moazam Khan and informed him about the incident.
At first, property owner Mir Ahmed Ali’s father Khaja Nawab tried to stop the GHMC officials, but when they refused to heed his pleas, he called up the Asif Nagar MLA.
Moazam Khan along with Karwan MLA Afsar Khan reached the spot and argued with the GHMC staff that they have a court order. Besides, the building owner had applied under the building penalisation scheme (BPS) and hence it could not be demolished, they stated.
Moazam Khan allegedly tried to stop them from pulling down the structure. As the workers ignored his threats and continued their work, Afsar Khan tried to intervene in the matter and opened fire.
After the incident, both the MLAs went to the Abids police station and lodged separate complaints against four GHMC officials.
On learning that their MLAs were ‘detained’ by police, MIM activists, including MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, MP Asaduddin Owaisi and other MLAs, reached Abids police station and staged a dharna pressing for the arrest of GHMC chief city planner Purushotham Reddy and town planning section officer Ranjit.
The GHMC officials had made an attempt to demolish the building on Friday too. But they did not go ahead as the property owner’s brother Mir Ahmed Ali with the help of others allegedly thrashed section officer Ranjit. He is currently undergoing treatment at the Osmania General Hospital.
The town planning staff lodged a complaint against Ahmed Ali for obstructing them from performing their duties.
At the Abids police station, Asaduddin Owaisi had a long discussion with GHMC additional commissioner (town planning) K Dhananjaya Reddy. Police booked cases against GHMC chief city planner (CCP) B Purushottam Reddy, Ranjit, Shah, and other town planning officials under sections 307 (Attempt to murder) 147 (Rioting) and 148 (Rioting, armed with deadly weapon) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
