Akbaruddin Owaisi's counsel Shafiuddin Khan says the police have not informed him where his client is being taken. "He has been arrested on charges that he is not cooperating in the probe. The media has been following us around for the whole day, tell me how he has not cooperated with the police," asks Khan.

He added that Owaisi had requested the police to allow him to go home and pick up his toileteries and grab a bite, but he was not allowed to do so.

"He has not even eaten breakfast today since he had to undergo medical tests. . We have not been given a copy of the medical report. But we know that he is not in a fit state of health. My client has never wanted to evade the law. He has acute pain because of his hernia; he is suffering. He will collapse if he takes pain His sciatica nerve is giving him intense pain, but he cannot take pain killers as he will collapse," said Khan. .

So the wind has been knocked out of Owaisi's sail, at least for now.
