CBI summons Jagan's MP cousin in Viveka murder case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy for questioning in his uncle and former Andhra Pradesh minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy's murder case.

Avinash Reddy, a cousin of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, has been asked to appear before CBI officials in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP, however, is reported to have conveyed his inability to appear on January 24 due to his busy schedule in Pulivendula and has sought another date. He assured the central agency that he will fully cooperate with it in the investigation.

The CBI served the notice on the day when it conducted search at the offices of Avinash Reddy and his father Bhaskar Reddy.

Vivekananda Reddy, uncle of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, was found murdered at his residence in Kadapa on March 15, 2019, a few days before the election.

The 68-year-old former state minister and former MP was alone at his house when unidentified persons barged in and killed him. He was killed hours before he was to launch YSR Congress Party's election campaign in Kadapa.

Though three Special Investigation Teams (SITs) conducted the probe, they failed to solve the mystery.

The CBI took over the investigation into the case in 2020 on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court while hearing a petition of Vivekananda Reddy's daughter Sunitha Reddy, who raised suspicion about some relatives.

The CBI filed a charge sheet in the murder case on October 26, 2021 and followed it up with a supplementary charge sheet on January 31, 2022

In November, 2022, the Supreme Court transferred to a CBI court in Hyderabad the trial and probe into the larger conspiracy behind the murder. The apex court observed that doubts raised by Sunitha Reddy about getting a fair trial and investigation in Andhra Pradesh were reasonable.

YS Jagan’s Babayi and Kadapa former MP YS Vivekananda Reddy’s brutal murder has been a sensation in Andhra Pradesh politics. While both YCP and TDP continue to mudsling each other over Viveka’s murder, the latest development is that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) which is probing the high-profile murder has served notices to Kadapa MP and YS Jagan’s cousin YS Avinash Reddy. It summoned Avinash Reddy to appear before the investigation team at the CBI headquarters in Hyderabad on Tuesday at 3 PM which is tomorrow.

Meanwhile, responding to the CBI officials, Kadapa MP Avinash Reddy has assured to fully cooperate with the investigation officials. However, in the letter, Avinash Reddy mentioned that he is occupied on Tuesday due to his busy schedule in Pulivendula, Kadapa district. He informed the CBI officials that he is occupied for the next five days. He asked the CBI officials to give a fresh date for the appearance.

It can be noted that the CBI officials have today traveled from Kadapa to Pulivendula and enquired about YS Avinash Reddy’s father YS Bhakar Reddy. The CBI officials reportedly went to the YSRCP party office in Pulivendula and asked about YS Bhaskar Reddy. When the CBI sleuths learned that Bhaskar Reddy did not come there, the officials observed the surroundings near Bhaskar Reddy house which is closeby the YSRCP party office, Pulivendula. The CBI notices to YS Avinash Reddy and enquiry about YS Bhaskar Reddy has kicked up a huge debate in political circles in CM Jagan’s own Assembly constituency Pulivendula and Kadapa district.
