He criticised the administration for its action and demanded the immediate halt of the demolition. “(CM) Revanth Reddy is troubling the Muslim community. If this continues, he will not be able to recover his deposit in the next elections,” he said while being escorted by police.
The Chengumol police told Siasat.com that Amjedullah Khan was detained to control the simmering tension. “There is some issue regarding the dargha demolition in Kodangal. We anticipated that the situation could worsen if Khan reached there. He has been put under preventive detention. He will be released in sometime. No case has been registered,” the police said.
