'Koi maa ka laal...': watch Akbaruddin Owaisi's face-off with cop during poll speech

AIMIM leader Akbarduddin Owaisi has sparked a controversy after allegedly threatening a police officer during an election rally in Telangana's Hyderabad.

The police officer asked Owaisi to conclude his speech on time to follow the Model Code of Conduct.

An angered Owaisi told the police officer to leave the stage and told him that he still had 5 minutes to finish his speech.

He added that no one can stop him from finishing his speech.

The Model Code of Conduct allows election rallies only till 10 pm.

Owaisi threatened the police officer and said that he would end up running if signals the crowd present at the rally.

'Do you think that after facing knives and bullets, I have become weak? There is still a lot of courage in me. I still have 5 minutes and I will speak for these 5 minutes. No one can stop me. Isn't it right? If I give a signal then you'll have to run, shall we make him run?' Owaisi said.

Akbaruddin Owaisi, the brother of AIMIM chief Asaduddin, is contesting Telangana assembly elections from Hyderabad's Chandrayangutta.
