Islamists, hysterically shouting Allahu Akbar and sar tan se juda, were baying for suspended BJP MLA T Raja Singh’s blood. Some had sharp weapons on them. They ransacked Hindu businesses and heckled Hindus. Some”radical Islamists even targeted the Sangh: “RSS Walon Ko, Kaat Daalo Saalon Ko”…”Bolo Bolo Kya Chahiye, Gustakh-e-Nabi Ka Sar Chahiye”.

The Islamists were protesting against Raja Singh reported controversial remark against Muhammad. Immediately after Singh was arrested, the BJP suspended the MLA. The party also slapped a showcause notice on him. The controversy erupted after BJP MLA T Raja Singh in a video criticised Islamist stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui who has a show scheduled in Hyderabad. Faruqui has a history of making derogatory remarks on Hindu gods and goddesses. T Raja had threatened that if the show happened, he would set the venue on fire. He allegedly made some remarks against  Muhammad that drove the Islamists crazy.

Just after his remarks gone viral, Raja Singh was taken into custody from his residence by a task force under the Hyderabad Police Commissioner and produced before the 14th Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate court on August 23. However, he was granted bail hours after arrest. But again on August 25, he was again arrested by the police.
