Police custody extended for man arrested in Godavari deaths case

A court in Telangana has granted police a three-day custody extension of Sadhik Khan, 26, who was arrested in connection with the deaths of a family in the Godavari River. Khan will remain in custody until September 10 for questioning regarding his alleged involvement in the case.

Khan was arrested at Meerut on August 21 following a case registered after a woman, identified as Soujanya, left behind a note before her family members entered the Godavari. The custody extension allows investigators to interrogate the suspect further on his purported role in the death of Jagadeeswara Reddy, Soujanya's husband.

The case has drawn significant attention as authorities investigate the circumstances surrounding the family's deaths. Police are conducting detailed questioning of the arrested individual to establish his connection to the incident and gather evidence for the ongoing investigation.

The remand order reflects the court's assessment that police custody is necessary for further investigation into the matter. Authorities have been granted additional time to pursue leads and document findings relevant to the case.
