Suspended Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator T. Raja Singh was arrested again on August 25 afternoon.
The BJP legislator had made objectionable comments against Prophet Muhammad which triggered protests in the city. He was arrested the first time on August 23.
The Hyderabad City Police, earlier on August 25, served a notice under Section 41 of the CrPC to the legislator. Soon after this development, Mr. Singh circulated a video in which he said that his arrest was likely in connection with “old cases”. The MLA described the issue as “ dharam yudh” and said he would not relent.
