Akbar Owaisi released from Adilabad Jail

After hours of waiting, MIM leader Akbaruddin Owaisi was finally released on bail from the Adilabad District Jail in the alleged hate speech case. 

While the Nizamabad court granted bail to Akbar Owaisi on Friday afternoon, the Adilabad Court pronounced the judgment in the evening. Since several formalities were required to be completed, Akbar Owaisi's release was delayed on Saturday. According to sources, Akbar Owaisi's lawyers furnished the two securities of Rs 25,000 in the court on Saturday morning. However, they failed to surrender his passport, a condition laid by the court to grant bail.

It was only in the afternoon that the passport was surrendered in the court to complete the bail formalities.

Meanwhile, a large number of MIM leaders and workers gathered outside the Adilablad Jail to receive Akbar Owaisi. He is being brought to the city in a huge procession.
