At last Akbaruddin arrested

Mr Owaisi spent six hours today at a state-run hospital where doctors examined him to determine if he is medically fit to be questioned. 

Mr Owaisi has been arrested by the police of Nirmal town in the Adilabad district; he was scheduled to appear before the police yesterday but sought four days' exemption on medical grounds.

A speech made by Mr Owaisi in Nirmal, nearly 200 kms from Hyderabad, led to charges of spreading communal hatred and waging war against the state.

Mr Owaisi belongs to the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or MIM party; his brother, Asauddin, is a parliamentarian.

Investigating officer A Raghu had found Akbaruddin fit enough to face police inquiry in connection with the case filed against him for the alleged provocative speech. 
However, the MIM legislator had informed that he was suffering from pain and had sought four days time to appear before the Nirmal police for questioning. After this, the police had last night decided that he will be subjected to medical examination today.
