AIMIM expulsion of MLC Mirza Rahmat Baig

Overview

The All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) expelled Mirza Rahmat Baig, a Member of the Legislative Council (MLC) for the Hyderabad Local Authorities constituency, on August 28. The party directed Baig to resign from the Telangana Legislative Council, though the specific grounds for the expulsion were not officially disclosed by the party at that time.

Following the expulsion, reports emerged that Baig had gone missing in Hyderabad. It was subsequently revealed that the removal followed social media allegations of sexual assault involving a minor. Baig has denied these claims, asserting that “deepfake technology is being used to create fraudulent videos to defame him and extort money.” He has reportedly approached the Cyber Crime police regarding these threats.

In the wake of the leadership change, AIMIM appointed Mohammed Mubeen as the new in-charge of the Rajendranagar Assembly constituency. Political opponents, including the Telangana BJP, have called for a formal inquiry into the allegations.
