In a significant political development, senior YSRC leader Ambati Rambabu has formally requested a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into two separate but concerning deaths. The call for a CBI investigation comes following the alleged custodial death of Sai Krishna and the death by suicide of Kranti Kumar. Raising serious questions regarding police conduct, Rambabu has also pushed for the suspension of the Vijayawada city police commissioner to ensure an impartial and transparent inquiry.
During a media briefing held on Monday, Ambati Rambabu detailed the circumstances surrounding the death of Sai Krishna. He alleged that Task Force personnel had transported the individual from Markapuram to the Krishnalanka police station on May 9. According to the leader, this action was taken in connection with the execution of a non-bailable warrant. However, he claimed that following this event, Sai Krishna's whereabouts became completely unknown to his family and associates.
Demands for Accountability and Transparency
The YSRC representative emphasized the need for total accountability, insisting that the authorities must identify the specific personnel responsible for bringing Sai Krishna from Markapuram to Vijayawada. He argued that the lack of transparency in this case has fueled public anxiety and necessitates a thorough examination by a central agency to uncover the truth behind the reported custodial death.
Furthermore, the CBI investigation request extends to the death of Kranti Kumar, which has also been marked by controversy. While the case was initially classified as a suspicious death by the local administration, Rambabu asserted that recent developments and observations have raised red flags. He expressed his firm belief that the current circumstances surrounding the case cannot be adequately addressed by local law enforcement.
By urging a high-level CBI investigation, Rambabu is calling for a different perspective on the investigation to evaluate the deaths accurately. He stressed that an independent inquiry is essential to provide clarity to the affected families and to determine if any legal misconduct or negligence contributed to these tragic outcomes. The political leader concluded by reiterating his stance that strict legal action must follow any findings that emerge from such an independent probe, ensuring justice for those involved.
