Hyderabad: Case booked against poet Pratapgarhi

Hyderabad: A case under different sections were booked against the poet Imran Pratapgarhi and two of the organisers of anti-CAA protest programme which was held in Quli Qutubshahi Stadium on Monday.

According to FIR, even though permission was obtained by the organisers, the programme continued beyond the time limit, which was set as 9 pm. The meeting continued till 9.48 pm and Imran Pratapgarhi allegedly gave provocative speech, while asking local Muslim leadership as to why it has failed to organise a 'Shaheen Bagh' type protest in Hyderabad.

The cases were registered at Charminar police station under sections 188,505(1)(b) of IPC. MBT spokesman Amjedullah Khan strongly condemned the act by Hyderabad police and held that the same police was silent on recent RSS march & BJP and its allied groups when they conducted pro-CAA meetings and took out rallies without permission and also resorted to sloganeering against a particular community.
