SIT files chargesheet in Sai Krishna’s alleged custodial death case
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) has filed a chargesheet in the alleged custodial death case of Gade Sai Krishna, according to the source. The SIT, which was formed to investigate the case, filed the chargesheet in court on Monday. The investigation revealed Sai Krishna's arrest by the Krishnalanka police on May 6, 2026, due to allegations of illegal detention and torture.
His mother, Vijaya Lakshmi, filed a habeas corpus petition on his behalf. Sai Krishna later died, and the body and evidence were disposed of, as stated in the chargesheet. So far, seven accused individuals, including the then Circle Inspector S.S.V.V. Nagaraju of the Krishnalanka police station, have been arrested in connection with the case.
