Enforcement Directorate strikes at the heart of gangster legacies, charging the late Khwaja Naeemuddin alias Naeem’s network in a PMLA prosecution complaint filed at Telangana’s Ranga Reddy MSJ Court. Cognizance granted January 21, 2026.
The complaint indicts Pasham Srinivas, Haseena Begum, Mohammad Tahira Begum, Mohammad Salima Begum, Mohammad Abdul Salim, Ahela Begum, Syed Nilofer, Firdous Anjum, Mohammad Arif, and Heena Kauser. Through systematic intimidation—death threats, abductions, coerced registry transfers—the gang claimed 91 prime lands without payouts, silencing owners via fear.
ED’s findings integrate Telangana FIRs, benami probes by Income Tax, and SIT asset hunts, pinpointing Srinivas as the land grab architect benefiting Naeem’s clan. These holdings, worth hundreds of crores, are PMLA proceeds eligible for seizure by New Delhi.
Post-2016 police killing, Naeem’s operations persist in shadows. This legal salvo by ED exemplifies zero tolerance for laundering criminal hauls into legitimate assets. As adjudication advances, it spotlights vulnerabilities in land records and bolsters faith in institutional crackdowns against mafia realty rackets.
