Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, former MP and also the uncle of Y.S.Jagan Mohan Reddy. He was a close aide of Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy’s and of Jagan’s as well. Sadly, he was killed last year,in his own house, by a group of unidentified people.
This case was initially being investigated by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), which was appointed by the previous government. However, after Vivekananda’s wife filed a petition in the High Court, stating that SIT has failed to properly investigate the case, the case was then handed over to the CBI.
A few days ago, the CBI questioned Vivekananda’s wife and daughter, at their house in Pulivendula, and also searched the house for any kind of evidence or clues. Of the 17 names that were mentioned by Viveka’s daughter, Dr. Sunitha, in the petition submitted to the High Court, 5 have already been investigated by the CBI in Pulivendula.
The remaining members are to be investigated in Kadapa, probably on Thursday.
In her written petition, Dr. Sunitha mentioned the names of Rangaiah, driver Prasad Yerragangi Reddy, Parameswara Reddy, A Krishna Reddy, Udayakumar Reddy, D Sivasankar Reddy, Srinivasulu Reddy (committed suicide), Y S Bhaskar Reddy, Y S Manohar Reddy, Y S Avinash Reddy, Sankaraiah (CI), Ramakrishna Reddy (ASI), Surendranath Reddy, C Adinarayana Reddy (former minister) B Tech Ravi (former MLC), Surendra Reddy. She mentioned their names, identifying them as the prime suspects in the murder of her father.
Of the aforementioned 17 people, the CBI has already enquired watchman Rangaiah, driver Prasad, Y Gangi Reddy, Krishna Reddy, Parameswara Reddy in Pulivendula. With the rest being enquired in Kadapa, many are wondering what the reason could be, behind shifting the base to Kadapa, from Pulivendula.
