Ajeya Kallam, Principal Adviser to Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, has filed a writ petition in the Telangana High Court praying for a declaration of the action of CBI, in not recording his true statement in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy murder case, as illegal and for its exclusion from the file of the Principal Judge for CBI cases, Hyderabad.
He stated that he had expressed his willingness to be examined under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code by an individual whom he identified as CBI SP Vikas Kumar on the basis of a WhatsApp message sent by him, in connection with the investigation of the murder of the former MP Vivekananda Reddy, though he had no prior information/notice about it except the said WhatsApp message.
He claimed to have answered the questions asked by the Investigating Officer (IO) to the best of his ability and recollection and that he did not know the identity of another person who was taking dictation from the IO. Also, he mentioned that his statement was neither read out nor its content was shown and his examination was not audio-video recorded to the best of his knowledge.
