"Please look at the shocking video of "Goonda Raj" in Hyderabad patronage by @aimim_national Chief @asadowaisi. The Electricity Department employees who went to check power theft, were brutally assaulted by MIM leader Mohd Azam & his family members in Mehboob Colony, Karwan Assembly Constituency. If you have spine @KTRBRS @CPHydCity @TelanganaDGP take action or remain as mute spectators, Let Goodanism prevail in Old City. Nearly 50% of power supplied to the Old City is unaccounted and due to this power theft there is a loss of 70 Lakh per day to the @TsspdclCorporat. It is widely known fact that power thieves & offenders in Hyderabad Parliament Constituency are shamelessly sheltered @aimim_national MLAs. Like Indians are scared to travel to Pakistan, Govt officials are scared to visit Old City of Hyderabad," the user tweeted and shared the video showing the leader roughing up electricity department employees.
