      1. On my representation to DCP South, ~90 protesting youth from Shah Ali Banda & Asha Talkies have been released.

      Owaisi, however, maintained that Singh should be arrested since his hateful speech triggered the situation. "This situation is a direct result of Raja Singh's hate speech. He must be sent to jail at the earliest. I also reiterate my appeal to maintain peace. #Hyderabad is our home, it should not fall prey to communalism," he said.

      2. The youth were released from Kanchanbagh PS at 1:30 AM. In one case, police had used disproportionate force & barged into a home & detained 5 youths. This isn't acceptable. They've been released on my representation. I asked our corporators to drop the youths back home
