Custody of the principal accused in the mysterious death of beautician Sirisha, Sravan and his friend Rajeev, has been given to the police for further investigation in the wake of allegations that it was a cold-blooded murder and not a suicide.
After obtaining orders from a city court, the Banjara Hills police on Monday took the duo into custody from the Chanchalguda jail.
As part of the investigation to clear the doubts expressed by Sirisha's family, the police may take the accused to the various places they visited before she allegedly committed suicide at R J Photo Studio at Film Nagar in Banjara Hills last Tuesday.
According to the information gathered by the police so far, Sirisha, Rajeev and Sravan visited Kukunoorpally to meet Sub-Inspector Prabhakar Reddy to resolve their issues. There Prabhakar allegedly attempted to sexually assault Sirisha. Then the trio returned to Hyderabad at around 3am, and after reaching the studio, Sirisha allegedly hanged herself to death while Rajeev and Sravan were chatting downstairs.
However, Sirisha's mother and uncle alleged that she was murdered by the duo and that they had created a scene to show it as a suicide. The police will now try to reconstruct the entire episode scene by scene to establish the truth in the case.
