Summary
- Associate detained in Sai Krishna custodial death investigation.
- SIT suspects cover-up and body disposal assistance.
- Hunt for absconding officers intensified in multiple cities.
The special investigation team (SIT) is intensifying its probe into the Sai Krishna custodial death case. Suresh, a close associate of former circle inspector Nagaraju, has been detained for questioning. Investigators suspect Suresh played a key role in assisting Nagaraju after Sai Krishna's alleged death, potentially including the disposal of the body.
The SIT is working to reconstruct the events following the alleged lockup death, examining whether evidence was concealed. Meanwhile, the search for other police personnel implicated in the case has been expanded, with special teams deployed to Hyderabad and Bengaluru. Notices have been issued to head constables Ashok and Jangam Nani, who remain at large.
Senior police officials, including DCP Krishnakant Patel, have also been questioned. Concurrently, Sai Krishna's alleged criminal background is being examined to understand the circumstances leading to his detention. The case has generated significant public outrage across Andhra Pradesh, prompting the SIT to broaden its investigation.
