Two retired police officers, whose statements the Hyderabad police wanted to record in the criminal case registered against suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police Dugyala Praneeth Kumar, have gone into hiding.
Police officials probing the case against Praneeth Kumar, it is learnt, had found that one of them had left the country from Chennai airport within a couple of days of issuing the First Information Report against the suspended DSP who was eventually arrested. They are verifying reports that another retired police officer too left the country.
A Telugu TV channel CEO, who allegedly aided and abetted the suspended DSP (he was serving the SIB then) in developing profiles of unidentified persons and tracking them, too is not available. Teams sent by the Hyderabad police realised that even he too left the country.
