TTD Parakamani case goes cold 3 months after ex AVSO’s murder

Tirupati: The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) Parakamani case went cold ever since the murder of former TTD assistant vigilance and security officer Y Satish Kumar near Komali railway tracks in Anantapur district on November 10, 2025.While 114 days passed after former TTD AVSO and then railway inspector, Satish Kumar, was found dead on the railway tracks near Tadipatri, coincidentally on the same day he was supposed to present himself before the CID officials for questioning in Tirupati.
It may be recalled that Satish Kumar was the key witness and complainant, as well as the person, who effected a compromise deal with the Parakamani case accused, CV Ravi Kumar, at the Lok Adalat court in Tirupati, eventually leading to the closure of the Parakamani case in September 2023.After a Tirupati-based journalist filed a writ petition in the Andhra Pradesh high court last year, the court directed the CID to reinvestigate the case and the ACB to examine the properties belonging to the Parakamani case accused.Just as the CID investigation began, Satish Kumar, who was working as an inspector at the Guntakal govt railway police, was found dead under mysterious circumstances close to the railway tracks near Tadipatri on November 10, the day he was supposed to be examined for the second time by the CID.After initial post-mortem reports confirmed that Satish Kumar may have been murdered, the Anantapur district police wing formed multiple special teams to investigate his murder case, which was linked to the Parakamani murder case.As it was more than 114 days since Satish's mysterious death was reported, his family members fear that the case investigation went into cold storage.Speaking to TOI, Y Hari, Satish's brother, appealed to the state govt and the police to expedite the case investigation and render justice to the family."My brother was an honest police officer and his death shattered the entire family. We demand justice and hope the police exposes the culprits involved in Satish's murder mystery," Hari said.Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Holi wishes, messages and quotes !
