Bhongir: The last rites of dreaded gangster Nayeem are turning out to be as controversial as his life has always been. His brother and the other relatives, who were handed over the body of Nayeem, who was shot dead in an encounter on Monday morning near Shadnagar, are refusing to perform the last rites till his wife and children come.

Nayeem’s wife, children and his acolytes are currently in police custody and raids are being conducted for the second day on the houses of Nayeem, his relatives and friends.
