The Story in Brief
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) grilled four suspended constables on Saturday in the alleged custodial death of G. Sai Krishna. The constables, head constables Ashok and Nani, and constables Sambaiah and Babu Rao, were questioned in police custody granted by the court. The SIT asked why they took Sai Krishna outside instead of producing him in court, where they took him, and whether senior officers were alerted. The accused reportedly remained silent.
Sai Krishna (25) was arrested on May 6 and brought to Krishnalanka police station. He has been missing since. The SIT has also arrested Circle Inspector S.S.V.V. Nagaraju in the case.
The Indian Opinion
The accused constables' silence is unsurprising given the stakes, but the SIT must rely on forensic and digital evidence rather than confessions. The narrative of 'police protecting police' is premature, the SIT has already arrested an inspector. What will tip the scales is whether the medical report and call logs corroborate the sequence of events.
