While Rachakonda police has not registered any criminal case against the inspector, a senior official from rachakonda said a vernacular daily, ” we don’t want to disclose anything at this point of time. Give us some time. But we will not spare such people and everyone ha seen how action was taken against an assistant commissioner of police in the recent double murder case in ibrahimpatnam”.
