Telangana Task Force arrests Motivational Speaker Munawar Zama in idol vandalism case
In a significant development, the Telangana Task Force (T TASKF) arrested popular motivational speaker Munawar Zama and two hotel owners from Maharashtra today. The arrests are connected to the vandalism of an idol at a temple near the Secunderabad passport office, an incident that occurred during the night of October 13-14.
The primary suspect in the case, Salman Thakur from Mumbai, was staying at one of the Metropolis Hotels in Maharashtra during a personality development program. The police had previously arrested Thakur in connection with the incident, noting that many hotel rooms were rented by the organizers of the English Development program.
Authorities are expanding their investigation into the matter, with Munawar Zama and the hotel owners identified as key figures in the probe. While there is currently no evidence to support claims that Munawar delivered a hate speech, it is alleged that he provoked students, which led to the vandalism of the idol. Following this, the police took action, resulting in the arrest of the hotel owners and Munawar today.
