NHRC seeks reports from DGP, Chief Secretary on Sai Krishna custodial death

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has requested reports from the Director General of Police (DGP) and the Chief Secretary regarding the custodial death of Sai Krishna, highlighting potential violations of Article 21 of the Indian Constitution, which guarantees the right to life and personal liberty. The NHRC is particularly concerned about the investigation being conducted by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) and the actions taken against police personnel accused of tampering with evidence. This case underscores the importance of accountability in law enforcement and the protection of human rights in India.
