Justice K. Lakshman of Telangana High Court on Monday dismissed criminal petitions filed by Uday Kumar Reddy and Bhaskar Reddy, who are presently lodged in Chanchalguda central prison, seeking bail in the case of murder of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy being investigated by the CBI.
“There is prima facie and reasonable ground to believe that the two petitioners (the accused in the murder case) have committed the offence which is serious and grave in nature,” the judge said in the order. Justice Lakshman noted that serious allegations had been levelled against both the accused.
Prima facie there was evidence that they were part of the conspiracy in committing the murder and that they were trying to destroy the evidence, the judge said in the order. The murder victim, Mr. Vivekananda Reddy, is paternal uncle of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
