Is Justice Delayed for Raghurama Krishna Raju? The Slow Pace of a Custodial Torture Case Raises Alarming Questions
By Satya B | December 26, 2025
In a development that has sparked both concern and controversy, Andhra Pradesh Assembly Deputy Speaker and TDP MLA Raghurama Krishna Raju has openly criticized the sluggish progress in the custodial torture case stemming from his arrest during the previous YSRCP regime. But here's where it gets controversial: Raju, who was held in detention from 2019 to 2024 as a rebel MP, claims he endured severe custodial abuse after being charged with sedition by the CID. The case has since pinned former AP CID chief and IPS officer PV Sunil Kumar as the primary accused, with Raju relentlessly pursuing legal recourse against him.
During a recent media interaction, Raju expressed frustration that despite extensive questioning of Sunil Kumar, investigators have failed to advance the case. He pointedly asked why no decisive action has been taken even after such a prolonged period, arguing that the delay sends a troubling message to the public. And this is the part most people miss: Raju emphasized that while the lack of progress doesn’t personally affect him, it poses a significant threat to the government’s credibility and could erode public trust in both governance and the police system.
Raju stressed the urgent need for swift justice, not just for himself but to reassure citizens that the rule of law remains intact. His comments have ignited a heated political debate, with all eyes now on how the government will respond in the coming days. Is Raju’s criticism justified, or is there more to this story than meets the eye? Share your thoughts in the comments below—this is one discussion you won’t want to miss!
