According to the police, the ASI works at Chanderghat police station. After he was admitted to Gandhi, doctors asked his family to buy Calcium tablets from outside as there was a shortage in the hospital.

The ASI’s son brought the issue to the notice of police, stating that his father, being an honest officer working for 35 years, needed better medical care. Police then directed the Chilkalguda police to look into the issue.
