The Story in Brief
The Andhra Pradesh Special Investigation Team took suspended circle inspector S S VV Nagaraju into custody in Vijayawada on Thursday after the Supreme Court allowed seven days of police custody. Nagaraju was shifted from Rajamahendravaram Central Prison and produced before a Vijayawada court before questioning began.
Nagaraju is the main accused in the alleged custodial death of 25-year-old Gade Sai Krishna, who died at Krishna Lanka police station in May. The SIT has also arrested four constables. The Supreme Court said questioning only at the prison could hamper the probe and allowed interrogation at a designated centre or another secure facility. The victim’s body and CCTV hard disks have not been recovered, according to the SIT.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that the case is already proved, or that the police version should be accepted without scrutiny, are both premature. The allegations include illegal detention, torture, destruction of evidence and cremation of the body, while the investigation still lacks the remains and CCTV hard disks. The seven-day custody should be judged by what verifiable evidence emerges, not by speculation. Will the SIT recover the body or the missing recordings?
