MIM MLA Quadri remarks: Court orders probe

A local court on Monday directed police to investigate a complaint against Majlis Ithehadul Musalmeen (MIM) MLA Ahmed Pasha Quadri for allegedly making objectionable remarks about Mahatma Gandhi's statue in the state Assembly premises.
A complaint against Quadri was filed by one M P Bhargav in the Metropolitan Magistrate court in Cyberabad.

The court asked the L B Nagar police to investigate the complaint and file a status report on February 8.

Karimnagar II Town police have already booked a case against Quadri in connection with the remarks.
