HYDERABAD: Senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of Bihar cadre M Sunil Kumar Naik failed to turn up before the Andhra Pradesh police on Monday in connection with a case related to alleged custodial torture of former YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP and current deputy speaker of state assembly K Raghu Ramakrishna Raju in May 2021, officials familiar with the matter said.
On Saturday, the Prakasam district police issued a notice to Naik to appear before Superintendent of police AR Damodar at 11am on Monday and record his statement with regard to alleged custodial torture of Raju.
"We sent notices to Naik through fax and also on WhatsApp, summoning him for questioning and recording his statement. But he did not turn up nor did he send any message on whether or when he will appear for questioning," a Prakasam district police official said, adding that fresh notices would be served on the IPS officer again.
