Women and children, who were allegedly detained by slain gangster Nayeem in his house at Puppalaguda of Narsingi in the guise of family members, wanted to poison him to death unable to bear his harassment.
Though Nayeem claimed that he had brought them under his care for their benefit, the women and children told investigators that he sexually abused many of them and assaulted some of them.
Close relative
One of the women was his close relative’s wife. After the relative died, he brought the woman -who had a son- to his house assuring to help them out.
“Our inquiries with the woman indicate that he actually exploited her situation and violated her eventually,” a police officer associated with the investigation said. He had pushed her into a helpless situation by confining her to the house.
“He would thrash her son frequently if she tried to resist him and thus made her his hostage internally,” the police officer said.
Another woman told the police that she too was sexually abused along with the children.
Investigators surmise that the gangster wanted to use them as human shield in case of an attack either by his enemies or by the police.
The children told the police that he asked them to learn how to use weapons. “He would tell us how to hold the weapon, pull the trigger and the types of ammunition,” one of the girls reportedly told the police. During Diwali festival, he made them fire bullets with real weapons.
These children were procured from the families of poor relatives at Bhongir or far off places.
“The women said that Nayeem forcibly administered sleeping pills to a woman when she objected to his advances,” the police said.
Guest houses in Goa
They claimed that the woman fell unconscious and was shifted out of the house. She never returned and they suspect that she might have died. The gangster used to take the children and women along with him during his trips to Goa where he had two guest houses.
