Telangana governmnet on Monday rejected the opposition demand for a CBI probe into the case of slain gangster Nayeem. Chief Minister K.Chandrasekhara Rao said that state police can conduct effective investigation into the matter.
“Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the state police is doing job efficiently and in an impartial manner and there was no need for handing over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI),” said Chief Minister. KCR made a statement in the assembly on the activities of Nayeem and his associates. Renegade Maoist-turned-gangster Nayeem was gunned down by police in an exchange of fire on Aug 8 in Shadnagar town near Hyderabad. An AK47, a 9mm pistol and ammunition were recovered. During the debate, Congress legislator Jeevan Reddy said CBI probe was necessary for an impartial probe as politicians from all political parties were suspected to have links with Nayeem. He wanted the government to produce Nayeem’s diary and other material in the court.
