Though names of retired employees and police officials, who had connection with gangster Nayeem, came to light so far in the case, the SIT officials are yet to divulge any details of politicians who had alleged connections with the gangster.

Ibrahimpatnam MLA Manchireddy Kishan Reddy and former MLA from Malakpet Malreddy Rangareddy constituency are engaged in war of words accusing each other of having alleged connections with the gangster. Manchireddy on Monday staged a sit-in protest along with his followers challenging Malreddy to prove allegations made against him.

Malreddy has been accusing Manchireddy of having links with Nayeem and took part in various illegal activities. Speaking to media persons, Malreddy alleged that Machireddy, who was TDP legislator later joined in the TRS, has links with Nayeem’s close aide Srihari.

He questioned alleged land settlements carried out by Manchireddy’s son and Srihari. Malreddy further said that he had met SIT chief Nagireddy and submit the proofs. When Nayeem’s confidant Srihari was arrested by the police, what is the reason behind leaving Manchireddy, he questioned.

Malreddy further admitted that he is committed to the accusations made against the Ibrahimpatnam MLA and prove with every evidence he has with him. He accused the MLA of earning wealth to the tune of Rs 300 crore by joining hands with Nayeem’s associate.
