Arrest of Kapada Member of Parliament Y.S. Avinash Reddy, who is staying put in the Vishwabharathi Superspeciality Hospital here, looms large with Central Forces being despatched on Monday afternoon from Hyderabad as the local Kurnool police expressed their helplessness over controlling the Law and Order situation if Mr. Reddy is arrested.
Mr. Reddy has been summoned by the CBI for questioning in connection with the probe on the morder of former MP Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy. Mr. Avinash Reddy is staying in Viswabharathi Hospital in Kurnool since his mother has been admitted there for cardiac-related issues.
The seven-memebr Central Bureau of Investigation team from Hyderabad and Kadapa reached Kurnool at 4.30 am on Monday and contacted Mr. Reddy in the hospital. The MP, however, later on Monday wrote a fresh letter to the CBI seeking five more days of time to appear before the CBI in Hyderabad. The CBI team has been in touch with their higher-ups in New Delhi throughout the day on the proceedings.
