Special Investigation Team releases three women, two men from accused list

Ongole: The Special Investigation Team (SIT) appointed to probe the attack on Jaganmohan Reddy case, found no fault with the women from Kanigiri and released them after thorough enquiry.

According to the locals and police, Shaik Nagoor Meeravali lives in Ganeshunipalle near Piduguralla in Guntur district. His sister, Shaik Saira Bi is married into the family of Shaik Khasim Peera and Khasim Bi, residents of Devanga Nagar in Kanigiri. Saira Bi brought the mobile phone of her brother Nagoor Meeravali with the SIM card activated by his details and was using it.

A few weeks ago, she received a missed call from an unknown number and called back to know who it was. As the person continued to call her repeatedly at odd hours, her co-sister Ammaji took the mobile and kept with her. She started to talk to the unknown caller regularly as she felt no harm in it. Unexpectedly, the unknown caller turned out to be Janipalli Srinivasa Rao, the accused in the attack on Jaganmohan Reddy case and in the call records, the police found that he made a number of calls to the mobile number with the women.

The SIT team reached to Piduguralla first and took custody of Nagoor Meeravali and also asked Ammaji, her husband Rasool Khan, her co-sister Saira Bi and their mother-in-law Khasim Bi to come to Piduguralla.

They shifted all of them to Visakhapatnam on Monday and conducted inquiry on Tuesday and Wednesday. After enquiry in all angles, the police found that the women have no role in the attack on Jaganmohan Reddy, except returning a missed call from Srinivasa Rao, who used to make friends with unknown women over mobile phone. They released the three women and their two male family members on Thursday morning and asked them to be available for inquiry anytime if needed.
