Sai Krishna custodial death: What happened and why is the Andhra government in the dock? | Explained

Gade Sai Krishna, a 25-year-old man with an alleged criminal background, disappeared after being detained by the Krishnalanka police in May. His mother filed a habeas corpus petition in the High Court, which led to the discovery of his custodial death. The Circle Inspector of the police station was arrested for allegedly torturing Sai Krishna and then disposing of his body to cover up the crime. This incident triggered the formation of a Special Investigation Team and sparked political controversy, with the opposition YSR Congress Party criticizing the state government and accusing it of poor governance. The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh promised a fair investigation into the matter.
