TDP fears threat to the life of the accused in Viveka’s murder case

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has expressed the fear of threat to the life of the three accused in the Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy’s murder case, who are lodged in the Kadapa Central Jail, from P. Varuna Reddy, who has been appointed as the jail’s Superintendent now.

In a letter addressed to the Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday, TDP Polit Bureau member Varla Ramaiah demanded either the immediate transfer of Mr. Varuna Reddy or shifting of the three accused – Devireddy Siva Shankar Reddy, Gajjala Umashankar Reddy and Sunil Yadav – to the Rajahmundry Central Jail to ensure their safety.

Mr. Ramaiah alleged that the appointment of Mr. Varuna Reddy as the Superintendent of the prison was a part of the “ploy to eliminate the three accused.”
