Sangareddy: MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi surrendered before the Medak court here on Monday, in connection with the case against him for abusing the then collector and the joint collector in 2005. He was remanded to judicial custody till February 4. Lawyers of the MP immediately filed a bail petition. However as the bail petition was posted to Tuesday, Asaduddin Owaisi was shifted to jail.
