Case filed against AIMIM MLC and others for obstructing GHMC anti-encroachment drive

A case has been booked against an AIMIM MLC, a former corporator and several others for obstructing officials during an anti-encroachment drive in Murgi Chowk, which left a police constable injured.

According to the FIR, the case was registered by the Hussaini Alam police based on a complaint filed by a constable attached to the Charminar police station.

The incident occurred on Saturday (April 4, 2026) morning during a Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) operation to remove illegal encroachments along the stretch from Lad Bazaar to Puranapul.

At around 10.15 a.m. near Murgi Chowk, a group led by Sahil, son of former corporator Md. Ghouse, along with MLC Rahmath Baig and others, formed an unlawful assembly and attempted to stop GHMC officials and police personnel from carrying out their duties, police said.

The complainant alleged that the group behaved aggressively, created a disturbance at the site and interfered with the demolition drive. During the confrontation, the constable was allegedly manhandled, with one of the accused grabbing his collar and pushing him, causing him to lose balance and sustain a fracture to his right hand.

Police further stated that the accused used abusive language against both the constable and GHMC staff, lowering the dignity of public servants and disrupting official proceedings. The group is also accused of instigating others present at the spot, leading to a law and order situation.
