Jagan welcomes HC judgement in Sai Krishna custodial death case
In a social media post, he described the judgment as “a slap in the face” to the Chandrababu Naidu government
YSRCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has welcomed the Andhra Pradesh High Court's decision to transfer the Sai Krishna custodial death case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and compensate his mother ₹25 lakhs within four weeks. The bench of the High Court questioned the delay in filing the First Information Report (FIR) and the absence of CCTV footage from the Krishnalanka police station in Vijayawada.
Jagan Mohan Reddy accused the Chandrababu Naidu government of committing a heinous crime without remorse and alleged that the capital city police failed to provide any remorse. He also criticized the government for setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) under its control to shield the accused instead of conducting a genuine investigation.
The SIT has so far arrested six persons in connection with the case, including a close associate of Chief Inspector Nagaraju who has since gone missing.
