The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the alleged custodial death of Gade Sai Krishna (25) in NTR Police Commissionerate limits is likely to take accused Krishnalanka Circle Inspector (CI) S.S.V.V. Nagaraju into custody from Rajamahendravaram Central Prison for questioning on Wednesday (July 29).
