NHRC probes alleged custodial death of Sai Krishna in Vijayawada
The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is looking into the alleged custodial death of Sai Krishna, a 26-year-old from Vijayawada.
After a petition from rights lawyer Rama Rao Immaneni flagged illegal detention, torture, and evidence tampering, the NHRC has asked top state police officials for a report within seven days.
Krishnalanka CCTV allegedly deleted, Nagaraju arrested
Serious questions are being raised about police actions: officers are accused of secretly cremating Sai Krishna's body and dumping the ashes in a river to cover up evidence.
There are also claims that crucial CCTV footage was deleted at the Krishnalanka police station.
A special team found signs of police misconduct, leading to the suspension and arrest of Circle Inspector Nagaraju.
The NHRC has now ordered recovery efforts for both the deleted footage and Sai Krishna's remains, while also asking authorities to protect his mother and update on compensation steps.
