A PIL has been filed in the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding the alleged custodial death of Mala Gangamma.
The victim had previously approached the court over police dissatisfaction regarding her son's missing person case.
Allegations include severe physical torture by SIT officials and the absence of a post-mortem examination.
Kurnool SP S. Vikrant Patil has denied the allegations of torture, citing hospital treatment as the cause of death.
