Two-day police custody for alleged killer of Moddu Seenu

Four inmates of the barrack to be treated as witnesses
A sample of viscera preserved - to be examined if necessary in future

Tight security: Om Prakash greeting mediapersons in Anantapur on Wednesday.

ANANTAPUR: The Bukkaraya Samudram police, investigating Moddu Seenu murder case, took the suspect M. Om Prakash into custody on Wednesday evening after getting the customary medical check-up done in the general hospital here.

The court has already permitted the police for two-day custody of the suspect for the purpose of interrogation as part of the investigation.

Interrogation

The court appointed an Advocate Commissioner as per the Supreme Court guidelines directing the police to conduct interrogation of the suspect in his presence. Mr. Narayanappa was appointed as the advocate commissioner. Om Prakash was taken to the general hospital for medical check-up with tight security on the hospital premises.

While leaving the hospital the suspect looked at the waiting mediapersons and said nostalgically antha rama mayam before being whisked away by the policemen.

Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police M.K. Singh told mediapersons that narco-analysis test would be conducted on the suspect, if necessary.

Four other inmates of the Yamuna barrack, who were lodged along with Moddu Seenu and Om Prakash, would be treated as witnesses in the case.

Post mortem report

On the other hand, the report of post mortem conducted on Moddu Seenu’s body here on November 9 was said to have reiterated the theory of death due to bludgeoning with a hard and blunted object. Authoritative sources stated that the report had mentioned that the death was caused due to cranio-cerebral injury due to the hard impact with a hard and blunted object. A sample of viscera was also preserved to examine, if necessary in future, whether the deceased was given any sedative or poison 12 hours prior to the death.
