Hyderabad: All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President Asaduddin Owaisi on Wednesday, September 4 condemned the violence in the Asifabad district of Telangana.

Communal tension erupted in Jainoor mandal of Asifabad district after a mob of nearly 2000 people started attacking the properties of Muslims. The violence was reportedly triggered following the sexual assault of a tribal woman by an auto driver.

Upon receiving information, local police arrived at the scene but due to the large number of people involved in the attacks, it was difficult for them to prevent the violence.

Asaduddin Owaisi spoke with the Telangana director general of Police (DGP) Dr Jitendra regarding recent violence.
