Kakinada shooting academy founder held in engineer's death case

Kakinada police have registered a case against Sk. Sadhik Khan, founder of the PRO Rifle Shooting Academy, for the death of Jagadeesh Reddy on July 2. The breakthrough came after investigators found Khan's name mentioned in a note left by K. Nooka Raju before his wife and daughter entered the Godavari River in what authorities are treating as a suspicious incident.

The circumstances surrounding Reddy's death remain under investigation, with police examining the connection between the engineer's death and the subsequent river incident. Authorities have not disclosed specific details regarding the contents of Nooka Raju's note or the exact nature of the allegations against Khan.

Search operations continue for Nooka Raju's wife and daughter in the Godavari River. Police have intensified efforts to locate the missing family members and establish the full sequence of events leading up to these incidents. The case has drawn attention in Andhra Pradesh as investigators work to piece together the circumstances connecting multiple deaths and disappearances.

Khan's arrest marks a significant development in what appears to be a complex investigation involving multiple parties. Officials have indicated that further details will emerge as the inquiry progresses.
