In the enquiry, the alleged detenu categorically denied to have received any stolen property from any person. Since no useful information was forthcoming with regard to the involvement of the alleged detenu in the above crime, he was let oﬀ immediately on the same day i.e. on 22.9.2008 and the alleged detenu was produced before the Tahsildar, Sherlingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District, who recorded his statement wherein it is stated that he was never illegally detained by the Police.
