The Telangana Police is gearing up for action against political leaders, including members of the State Assembly and legislative Council, for their alleged links with the Maoist turned dreaded gangster Nayeemuddin.
Having suspended five police officials and ordering departmental action against 16 other cops, the police top brass is now focusing on the politicians who had extended their patronage and protection to the illegal activities of Nayeem and his gang.
The action was taken on the basis of solid evidence including photographs of Nayeem with the police officers and politicians.
Names of Telangana Rashtra Samithi leader and vice chairman of legislative Council N Vidya Sagar Rao and another TRS leader Chintala Venkat Reddy from Bhongir find a place in the list of politicos likely to face action. Three other MlAs of TRS and opposition were also facing probe.
