CBI speeds up probe into the brutal murder of Jagan’s uncle

The Central Bureau of Investigation has plunged into action on the High Court’s order to probe the murder of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, former MP and uncle of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy. The CBI’s technical team did scene reconstruction in Vivekananda Reddy’s house in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh.

CBI officials questioned watchman Rangaiah and the team examined Vivekananda’s bed and bathrooms. They had spoken to his wife, Saubhagyamma, a couple of days ago and took measurements of his house. The accused Erram Gangi Reddy, Viveka Reddy’s PA Krishna Reddy and driver Prasad were called by the CBI for interrogation. Watchman Rangaih was taken to the scene to sought details on what exactly happened on that fateful day.

The CBI officials have been staying in Kadapa for some days.

They want to question everyone involved in this case and seek details. Vivekananda was murdered at his residence in Kadapa on 15 March 2019 with axes and sharp objects. It became a sensational case during the last general elections. Later, then TDP government constituted Special Investigation Teams (SIT).

But his daughter Suneetha Reddy was not satisfied with the SIT probe and moved the HC appealing the case to be transferred to CBI.
