The Hyderabad police on Monday booked a case against a member of legislative council (MLC) of Telangana Rashtra Samithi for allegedly assaulting and abusing a non-resident Indian woman who asked him to vacate her flat, which the legislator denied, claiming that he did not know who the woman was.
A video clipping doing rounds in the social media showed Farooq Hussain, who was nominated to the legislative council under MLC quota, abusing Hant-ul-Wasay and assaulting her with his chappal, following which the woman lodged a complaint with the Nampally police.
According to the complaint, Wasay (50), who lives in New York, rented her flat at Skill Splendour Apartments, Bazar Ghat area, to Hussain six years ago. She said Hussain, who had been paying only Rs 10,000 as rent, had stopped paying even that for the last few months, forcing her to come to Hyderabad a couple of days ago to settle the issue.
