SIT grills suspended constables in Sai Krishna’s ‘custodial death’ case
The accused have reportedly not answered the queries posed by the police and maintained silence
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) police have interrogated the suspended constables from the Krishnalanka police station in connection with G. Sai Krishna's alleged custodial death. Head constables Ashok and Nani, along with constables Sambaiah and Babu Rao, who are currently in judicial custody, were brought before the SIT officers after the court granted them five days of police custody.
On Saturday, the SIT officers questioned the accused about various aspects of Sai Krishna's case, including why he was taken outside instead of being taken directly to court, the locations he was taken to, whether NTR Police Commissionerate officers had been alerted, and if so, when that occurred. The officers also inquired about the circumstances of the victim's torture in custody and the condition of his body.
However, the accused reportedly remained silent during the questioning and did not provide answers to the SIT's inquiries. Sai Krishna, aged 25, was initially arrested by the NTR Commissionerate Police on May 6 and brought to the Krishnalanka police station on the same day. Since his disappearance, the SIT had apprehended Krishnalanka Circle Inspector S.S.V.V. Nagaraju, Accused No.1, and the four constables involved in the case.
