Authorities detained two constables, arrested a crime constable and questioned a suspect in Bengaluru as investigations continue into the death of Sai Krishna.
Sai Krishna’s mother pleaded with police for her son’s mortal remains, and family members deposed before a magisterial inquiry, according to the Hindu. The mother also alleged that the investigation was slow, the Hindu reported.
Two head constables, Ashok and Jangam Nani, surrendered to the Assistant Commissioner of Police office in Suryaraopet on Monday evening, Deccan Chronicle reported.
