Hyderabad: In view of protests, police tighten for Friday prayers

Hyderabad: In light of the events involving Goshamahal MLA T Raja Singh, the city police are setting up strong security measures for the Friday prayers.

Police officers will be stationed near the city’s most important mosques. In light of the violent protests reported in the last three days in response to Singh’s controversial remarks, police will concentrate their efforts in the city’s older neighborhoods.
