A special court in Nampally, Hyderabad will pronounce the verdict in All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi's hate speech case on Wednesday, April 13.
The court will pronounce a verdict in two cases, which were booked in Nirmal (former Adilabad district) and Nizamabad in 2012.
He was booked under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 120-B (Criminal Conspiracy), 153-A (promoting enmity between two groups based on religion) and other sections.
More than 30 witnesses have been examined in each case. After spending 40 days in jail, Akbaruddin Owaisi was granted bail by a court.
Akbaruddin, who is the younger brother of Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief, Assadduddin Owaisi, has denied the allegations made against him.
Several policemen, including a Telangana cadre IPS officer, Amber Kishore Jha (then DSP Nirmal), who is presently on a deputation in Ghaziabad, were also deposed in support of the prosecution.
The prosecution pitched its case based on the Forensic Scientific Laboratory (FSL) report, which confirmed Akbaruddin’s voice in the hate speech video footage.
