It may be recalled that on December 21, 2021, the Uttarakhand STF got a tip-off stating that Wasim was hiding in the Attapur area of Hyderabad, along with his brother. Based on the information, the joint team of STF and Hyderabad police raided his residence at Attapur in Hyderabad late at night on December 21 to arrest the accused. During the arrest of the miscreants, the relatives of the accused and the crowd that came out in support of Wasim suddenly attacked the Uttarakhand STF.
During the attack, the mob threw chilli powder in the eyes of constable Chaman Kumar, members of Uttarakhand STF and constable Fayaz of Rajendra Police Station in Hyderabad. During the scuffle, the main accused Wasim gave the slip to the police. However, the police had then arrested Wasim's wife Shama Parveen. On the charge of attacking the police, a case was registered against the criminals under Section 353, 323 of IPC in Rajendra Nagar Police Station of Hyderabad. Right now, Shama Parveen was languishing in the Dehradun jail.

A case was registered under Sections 302, 212, 201, and 120B of IPC by the police against Wasim and his aides.
