Investigation Continues into Andhra Pradesh Custodial Death of Gade Sai Krishna
The alleged custodial death of 25-year-old Gade Sai Krishna in Andhra Pradesh has prompted investigations after he went missing following police custody in May. His mother filed a habeas corpus petition, leading to the arrest of Circle Inspector S.S.V.V. Nagaraju and the formation of a Special Investigation Team (SIT). The SIT reported that CCTV footage was deleted and that Sai Krishna died after severe beatings, with his body reportedly cremated at a cremation ground. The Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee has called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, citing concerns over evidence handling.
