A formal criminal investigation has been initiated in Vijayawada following the mysterious disappearance of Gade Saikrishna, who reportedly vanished while in police custody. Authorities have registered a case against the Krishnalanka Circle Inspector, identified as Nagaraju, regarding the circumstances surrounding the individual's time spent under detention.
The legal action stems from a formal complaint submitted by Vijaya Lakshmi, the mother of the missing man. Following the allegations, the local police department has invoked relevant sections of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) to pursue a criminal custodial disappearance case against the officer. In an immediate administrative response to the severity of the situation, the department has officially placed Inspector Nagaraju under suspension pending the outcome of the inquiry.
Independent Probe into Custodial Disappearance
To ensure a transparent and objective review of the facts, the state government has appointed Narasimha Kishore, the Superintendent of Police based in Rajamahendravaram, to lead the high-level investigation into the custodial disappearance incident. This appointment is intended to maintain impartiality throughout the probe into how such a security failure occurred within the station's jurisdiction.
Before officially commencing his investigative duties, Narasimha Kishore is expected to conduct preliminary consultations with senior leadership. These meetings will likely include discussions with Harish Kumar Gupta, the Director-General of Police, and Rajasekhara Babu, the Vijayawada Police Commissioner. The outcome of these discussions will outline the scope and methodology for the ongoing investigation into this custodial disappearance case.
The incident has drawn significant attention due to the serious nature of the allegations regarding the loss of a citizen while under the direct supervision of law enforcement. Public and official interest remains high as the authorities work to determine the whereabouts of Gade Saikrishna and establish accountability for the security lapses that led to his disappearance from custody. Further updates are expected as the special investigation progresses under the appointed Superintendent's oversight.
