Following Nayeem’s death in the encounter, the state government had ordered the SIT probe to unearth the gangster’s links with politicians and police personnel. Earlier in October this year, IGP Y Nagi Reddy responded to FGG’s RTI petition by stating that no case was registered against as many as 25 police officers, in the ranks of Additional SP, Deputy SP, Inspector, and police constable, whose names have figured in the probe and are currently serving in the Telangana Police. In the RTI response, it was also informed that about 240 cases were registered during the probe and charge sheets were filed in 173 cases. It also revealed that 8 politicians are involved in 139 cases.
