And the report was sent to the Eluru Range DIG. Soon after receiving the orders from the DIG, SP issued orders for suspension of SI Ramesh and Head Constable T Raja Rao.

In another case, ASI DVK Tirumala Rao of Annavaram police station was suspended on the charge of irregularities during his duty.
