Rasheed interrogation opened a can of worms as names of several politicians tumbled out during the grilling. "He has made allegations against several Parliamentarians, legislators and former ministers across political parties. We cannot disclose their names at this juncture. We are verifying the records," police sources said in Hyderabad on Friday.

On Thursday, terming the alleged attempt of human trafficking by Katara and others as "sad and serious," Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs Vayalar Ravi said the ministry will work with the home ministry for amendments in the existing laws and make them more stringent.
