In a significant development, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has made high-profile arrests in connection with forgery cases linked to the death of Raghunath. The agency has taken into custody a serving Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) and the two children of a former Member of Parliament from Chittoor.
Who Are The Arrested Individuals?
The arrested persons have been identified as D A Srinivas and D A Kalpaja. They are the son and daughter, respectively, of the late former MP, D K Adhikesavalu. The third individual arrested is S Y Mohan, a DySP who is currently posted at the State Human Rights Commission.
Details of the Case and Arrests
The CBI's action is part of its ongoing investigation into alleged forgery related to the death of Raghunath. The agency has not disclosed the exact nature of the forgery or the specific documents involved, but the arrests indicate a serious probe into attempts to manipulate evidence or records in the sensitive case.
The arrests were carried out on 23 December 2025. The involvement of a serving police officer of the DySP rank and the family members of a former parliamentarian has added a layer of complexity and gravity to the investigation. The late D K Adhikesavalu was a known political figure from the Chittoor region.
Implications and Next Steps
This move by the CBI underscores the agency's focus on the case and its determination to pursue all angles, regardless of the positions held by the suspects. The arrest of a DySP from the Human Rights Commission is particularly striking, as it involves an officer from a body meant to protect citizens' rights.
The accused are expected to be produced before a competent court, where the CBI will seek their custody for further interrogation. The investigation is likely to scrutinize the motive behind the alleged forgery and how it was intended to influence the proceedings related to Raghunath's death.
This development has sent shockwaves through political and administrative circles in the region, highlighting the CBI's assertive stance in a case that has already garnered considerable attention.
