Rachakonda Police Commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat on Wednesday appealed to the media to exercise restraint and to avoid misleading reporting on the Tuesday’s double murders of realtors near Karnamguda of Ibrahimpatnam.
“The case is under investigation and all angles are being probed. However, there have been no concrete leads. Technical and scientific clues are being examined rigorously, and any findings in the direction will be officially announced to the media in a disclosure. Till then the media is urged to maintain restraint and avoid misleading reporting,” he told media persons in an informal conversation.
Mr. Bhagwat’s request came after several media outlets published or broadcast various ‘crime scene reconstructions’, which the police distanced from and said certain information would help the accused escape.
