The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Tuesday has issued an order regarding the custodial torture of Narsapuram MP RaghuramaKrishna Raju, instructing that reports on the incident from May 15 and 16, 2021, be submitted to the court at Guntur Government Hospital.The court emphasized that these reports must be preserved and presented in a sealed cover.
The directive came after a single judge bench headed by Justice Ramkrishna Prasad heard a petition filed in this regard by the rebel MP, seeking protection of medical reports pertaining to departments like cardiology, general medicine and radiology at the government hospital in Guntur.
Raghu Rama Krishna Raju filed the petition in the wake of a proposal to destroy records on a routine basis after a period of two years.
The High Court judge directed the medical superintendent of Guntur Government Hospital to file additional counter affidavits in the case before adjourning the case to next week for hearing.
For the unversed, earlier in May 2021, Rebel YSR Congress MP Kanumuru Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju, who was arrested by CID on sedition charges, has alleged that he was tortured in custody.
Images have surfaced on Social Media showing how badly the rebel YSR Congress Party was tortured badly in custody.The photographs of the MP show that his feet have turned purple, confirming that he was beaten by using 3rd degree methods in custody.
