Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) president and Hyderabad MP Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday passed remarks on the Banjara Hills pub drug bust case that not a single rich person was arrested apart from the owner of the pub.
“Rule of law is supreme Art 13 & it is very unfortunate that cocaine was found in this “Rave party” and all offspring’s of Rich kids were released not a single arrest apart from the owner of the place Law should be applied equally to poor & rich,” he said tagging the Twitter handles of Hyderabad City Police and MA&UD minister KT Rama Rao.
