Andhra Police Open Murder Probe in Death of TTD Whistleblower Found on Railway Tracks

The shift follows post-mortem findings as the CID re-examines the Parakamani theft under a High Court deadline.

Overview

  • Police added murder charges after a post-mortem and a family complaint, registering an FIR that cites unnamed rivals from the Parakamani case as suspects.
  • Former TTD AVSO Y. Satish Kumar, who first reported the 2023 foreign-currency theft, was found dead near Komali village after he was expected to appear for questioning.
  • CID chief Ravishankar Ayyanar visited the site, met forensic doctors, and oversaw a scene reconstruction that used dummy bodies and drone footage.
  • CCTV showed Satish arriving at Guntakal station late on November 13 to board the Rayalaseema Express, and investigators are reviewing whether he fell or was pushed from the train.
  • Political leaders from rival parties allege either harassment by investigators or foul play and demand a Supreme Court–monitored CBI inquiry as the CID prepares to report by December 2.
