Nayeem’s encounter:Special Investigation Team makes more arrests

Hyderabad: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) constituted to probe the deeds of slain gangster Mohammed Nayeemuddin has taken into custody two RMPs and mother-in-law and brother-in-law of Nayeem to question on the allegations of human-trafficking.

The SIT officials on Saturday raided the house of Nayeem’s mother-in-law Sultana Begum in Miryalaguda in Nalgonda district and took her and her son Sajid into custody. The sleuths recovered Rs 1.3 lakh cash and 20 tolas of gold from Sultana’s home and recovered 70 tolas silver ornaments from a bank locker belonging to Sajid.

They also took custody of two RMPs Ramesh of Miryalaguda and Shafi of Tripuraram, for indulging in human-trafficking, said our sources.It was learnt that one Dattu of Yenimeeda tanda in Peddaura mandal sold his 10-day-old baby girl to Nayeem’s mother-in-law, with the help of the RMP.

Dattu’s wife delivered a baby on June 3, at Ahalya Hospital in Haliya village. After 10 days, Dattu’s wife was discharged from the hospital. The RMP gave him Rs 25,000 and took his 10-day-old baby girl. The RMP sold the baby girl to Sultana for Rs 1 lakh, who in turn handed over the baby girl to Nayeem,” said sources.
Nayeem was using newborn babies and women as a cover during his travel.

Nayeem, who had left People’s War Group in his early 20s, always made rebellious statements against Naxalites and Maoists. In several occasions, he was used as an informant by the police to hunt Maoists.

With the same motto, he wanted to start a web-channel named ‘I10’ in Hyderabad. He wanted to telecast news against Maoists and their atrocious activities. For this, he partnered with one Hari of Nalgonda and invested Rs 5 crore to set up the channel,” said sources.

Hari was reportedly picked up by the SIT officials from Nalgonda on Saturday. The duo had started works for the channel in a building at Road Number 1 in Banjara Hills and wanted to launch the channel by December this year, said sources.
