Though the police records referred to Nayeemuddin alias Nayeem as a Naxalite- turned-gangster involved in murders, extortions and settlements on gun point, the shocking and startling revelations about the extent of his crime network, his close rapport with top police officials and politicians and his king size lifestyle paint a picture of a powerful and frightening war lord.
The members of an Special Investigation Team were taken aback to find a large number of children in hideouts and dens of Nayeem at different places, including Hyderabad.
What was more startling is the revelation that Nayeem was using these children and some women as a “human shields”.
18 children mostly girls rescued from two places in Cyberabad and Mahabubnagar by the police were handed over to the Child Welfare Committee. These children have told the officials that Nayeem used to have them around not only at the places of his stay but also during his journey to act as human shields in case of any attack on him. However children did not complain of any sexual abuse by the gangster and said that they were taken care of by the women in the household. Some of the children said that they were related to Nayeem and had come to his house to attend a function. The information revealed by the arrested associates suggest that Nayeem was very fearful and of suspicious nature and never stayed at one place for more than one day.
