A recent Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe has uncovered disturbing details regarding a lockup death investigation involving Gade Sai Krishna. According to officials, the victim's remains were disposed of by a group that allegedly included CI Nagaraju, his associates, and two head constables.
The ongoing lockup death inquiry indicates that following the apprehension of CI Nagaraju, several individuals associated with him—specifically head constables Ashok and Jangam Nani, along with a friend named Suresh—attempted to evade authorities by going into hiding. The investigators are currently pursuing these individuals as key persons of interest in the case.
Details of the Investigation into the Lockup Death
The SIT probe has brought to light patterns of behavior and professional conduct involving head constable Nani. Reports suggest that Nani had previously faced allegations of corruption while stationed at the Patamata police station, which subsequently led to his suspension from the Gannavaram station. Despite these past disciplinary actions, he had recently received a new posting at the Krishnalanka police station.
Furthermore, the investigation highlights that Nani was reportedly involved in various unauthorized dealings, allegedly leveraging the influence and authority associated with CI Nagaraju to facilitate his actions. The Special Investigation Team has formally identified that Ashok, Nani, and Suresh were instrumental in the disposal of Gade Sai Krishna's body. Currently, the investigative team is actively conducting a manhunt to locate the two head constables and Nagaraju's associate, who have fled to avoid interrogation.
This lockup death case has raised significant concerns regarding accountability and oversight within the law enforcement departments involved. As the authorities continue their search, the legal implications for those accused of tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice remain a focal point of the ongoing judicial process. The SIT remains committed to tracking down the remaining suspects to ensure a comprehensive resolution to this sensitive criminal matter.
