SIDDIPET: The mystery shrouding the death of Kukunoorpally police station sub-inspector (SI) P Prabhakar Reddy appears to have deepened further. Siddipet police claimed that the video footage of the CCTVs installed in the premises of their police station could not be retrieved due to ‘technical glitches.’
According to sources, the Hyderabad city police, who are investigating the suspicious death of beautician Sirisha have gone through the call data records of all those involved in the case and established some technical evidence.


To establish the facts further, the Hyderabad police have been insisting that the CCTV footage be handed over to them.Sources said that the Kukunoorpally police have been citing some technical problems in retrieving the footage and has been dilly-dallying on the issue.


Later, technical experts from Siddipet town were also sent to the police station to retrieve the video footage. However, they too can not get the ‘technical glitch’ corrected and get the issue sorted out. It was learnt that the police there even said that they could not even remove the hard disk.
