The Story in Brief
AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi appeared before a Hapur district court on Thursday to record his statement in a 2022 firing case, Siasat.com reports. The Hyderabad MP’s convoy was allegedly attacked near the Chhijarsi toll plaza on the Delhi-Meerut highway on February 3, 2022, while he was returning from a campaign for the Uttar Pradesh assembly elections. Owaisi escaped unhurt.
Police have filed a nearly 1,900-page charge sheet against three accused, Sachin, Shubham, and Alim, under sections including attempt to murder and criminal conspiracy. The three are currently out on bail. The charge sheet names 60 witnesses, including 12 police personnel. Additional security was deployed at the court complex for Owaisi’s appearance.
The Indian Opinion
Some will paint this routine court appearance as either a victim’s long wait for justice or a show of strength by a polarising leader. The facts remain: the attack happened, three men have been charged, and the trial is still grinding on. The real test will be whether the 60 witnesses actually depose and the court delivers a verdict without communal spin. Until then, every appearance is just procedure, not politics.
