Suspended Telangana BJP MLA T Raja Singh, who made derogatory remarks about the Prophet Muhammad, has been arrested once again by Telangana Police from his residence in Hyderabad.
Some of the sensitive areas of the old city witnessed sporadic protests against Raja Singh, who was arrested on August 23 for making remarks against Islam and the Prophet Muhammad in a video, which was later pulled down by the social media platform on which it was uploaded.
He was granted bail by a local court hours after his arrest. Following his release by the court, protests erupted in some parts of the city that went on till Wednesday afternoon.
His latest arrest came hours after Singh released his new video alleging “communal atmosphere” despite an embargo by the court.
AIMIM leader Waris Pathan said, “The BJP is trying to destroy the secular fabric of our nation and see what has happened. T Raja, who was arrested for derogatory remarks against the Prophet, was granted bail within hours. What we demand is that such types of hate-mongers, why should he be allowed to roam free?”
