According to Police, he was involved in looting and theft and a case of gang rape was also registered against him. He was involved in looting on the highway. Two of his associates were injured in police firing earlier. Afraid that he may also meet with same fate, he decided to surrender.

When a reporter asked the police what could be the reason behind Nizam surrendering, the police said that he was definitely afraid of police action against his crime. A tamancha (country-made pistol) was recovered from him when he surrendered.
