According to the police, Naseerudin was earlier involved in extortion of ‘mamools’ from petty vendors and hawkers in and around Charminar.

“Claiming to have support of political leaders, he extorted people, mostly petty vendors on the roadside. He was earlier involved in 18 cases in Bhavani Nagar, including extortion. A rowdy sheet was opened against him at Bhavani Nagar since 2018,” said Gajrao Bhupal, DCP South Zone.
