Vijayawada police chief told to surrender

By Our Staff Reporter

VIJAYAWADA MAY 8. The Mahila Sessions Court Judge, K. S. Appa Rao, directed the Vijayawada Police Commissioner, N. Surendra Babu, today to surrender to the Third Metropolitan Magistrate Court where an NBW is pending against him within four working days. He also directed the Magistrate to release the petitioner on bail on the execution of self-bond for Rs. 5,000 with two sureties. The judge, however, rejected the petitioners' plea for anticipatory bail saying that there were no grounds for it.

Counsel for Mr. Surendra Babu in his submission to the court said that there was no possibility of polluting the process of investigation or tampering with witnesses and if the petitioner was kept captive for more than 48 hours, he would be put under suspension.

Lawyers representing complainant, B. Rama Devi, opposed the granting of bail quoting a few cases.

The judge gave the same directions to the ACP, Rami Reddy, the SI, G. Srinivas, the ASI, Babu Rao, and sentry, Nancharaiah, against whom NBWs are pending in the Third Metropolitan Magistrate Court.
