Owaisi is currently behind the bar. The Nirmal Town Police in Adilabad district had charged him with sedition, promoting enmity between different communities and waging war against the nation.

Protesting against the MIM MLA's statement, VHP and Bajrang Dal workers earlier had attacked the Lok Sabha MP and MIM supremo Asaduddin's house at Ashoka Road near India Gate in the national capital. They also had damaged the MIM party board.

The protesters hurled stones at Asaduddin's house and smashed window panes and also asserted that they will continue such attacks in the future. Reacting against the protest and attack in Delhi, Asaduddin had challenged VHP and other party workers to attack his house during his presence.
