The Special Investigation Team (SIT) is actively advancing its formal inquiry into the tragic custodial death of Gade Sai Krishna. On Monday, investigators conducted a thorough visit to the victim's residence located in Krishnalanka to document official statements from his family members, marking a significant step in the ongoing investigation.
Evidence Collection and Investigative Procedures
As part of the rigorous custodial death probe, ACP Daiva Prasad and his specialized unit have been methodically gathering evidence across various critical locations. Their search operations extended to key sites associated with the case, including the Krishnalanka police station and the local crematorium, to reconstruct the events surrounding the incident.
The custodial death probe remains a high-priority matter, drawing significant public attention and scrutiny from both local citizens and political figures. While the official investigation proceeds, the situation on the ground remains tense. Demonstrations have surfaced on the local highway, where residents of Krishnalanka have organized public protests to voice their support for CI S.S.V.V. Nagaraju, explicitly calling for justice to be served in his favor.

The legislative and political discourse surrounding the incident has intensified. YSRC president and former Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has issued a formal statement challenging the current administration led by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu. In his address, he raised critical questions regarding the status of the victim, specifically asking if Gade Sai Krishna is dead or alive.
Furthermore, the former Chief Minister emphasized the urgency of the situation by highlighting administrative lapses in the ongoing custodial death probe. He pointedly criticized the authorities for the lack of concrete action, noting that despite an FIR being registered four days ago, no arrests have been finalized in connection with the case. The demand for transparency and rapid progress in the judicial process continues to mount as the community awaits further updates from the SIT.
