SIT grills suspended constables in Sai Krishna’s ‘custodial death’ case
A Special Investigation Team is questioning four suspended constables regarding the alleged custodial death of G. Sai Krishna. The accused have remained silent during the interrogation despite being granted five days of police custody.
Why it matters
The case is a significant investigation into police accountability and allegations of custodial torture within the Indian law enforcement system.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) police have questioned the suspended constables of the Krishnalanka police station in G. Sai Krishna’s alleged custodial death case. Head constables Ashok and Nani, and constables Sambaiah and Babu Rao, who are in judicial custody, have been grilled following the court granting five days police custody.
The SIT officers on Saturday questioned them why Sai Krishna had been taken outside instead of being produced in court, to which places he was taken, whether the NTR Police Commissionerate officers were alerted, and, if so, when, and why the victim was tortured in custody, and about his body.
However, the accused reportedly did not answer the queries and maintained silence.
