Hyderabad: The TS government on Thursday told the Hyderabad High Court that so far no evidence has been found that the police has been using the services of gangster Nayeem.
The government has filed a counter-affidavit before the court, pursuant to the court’s direction in a public interest litigation filed by CPI leader K. Narayana, seeking a CBI probe into the case.
In the counter-affidavit, principal secretary in TS home department Rajiv Trivedi also denied that Nayeem had links with Naxal outfits operating in other states.
The state government has also submitted to the court that the allegation that top politicians used the services of Nayeem and derived some financial benefit is not correct and so far no evidence has been found to support it.
The government told the court that the Special Investigation Team investigating the case has not found any information that proves the allegation that Nayeem had discussions with Pakistan- based Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai.
If such evidence is found, appropriate action will be taken by the SIT.
The government affidavit said that the SIT is investigating the matter of the life and death of Nayeem, his alleged activities and offences committed by him and his associates in the entire state.
