Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy was informed about the ‘death’ of Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy ‘much before’ that information was conveyed to him around 6.15 a.m. on March 15, 2019, said the CBI authorities.
This was stated by them in an additional counter affidavit filed in Telangana High Court in response to the anticipatory bail petition filed by Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy in the sensational murder case that had been attracting wide attention of people for past nearly four years. The CBI officials stated that investigation into the ‘larger conspiracy’ aspect ‘revealed’ that the present Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh had been informed about the Vivekananda Reddy’s death much before 6.15 a.m. on that day.
Since Mr. Avinash Reddy ‘was active before and after commission of the murder’, “his role in informing about the death of Vivekananda Reddy to Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy is to be investigated”, they said in the counter affidavit opposing granting pre-arrest bail to the MP. The point whether the Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was informed about the murder even before the news was broken to him by M.V. Krishna Reddy (personal assistant of Vivekananda Reddy) came up for discussion in the court of Justice M. Laxman of Telangana HC on Friday while he was hearing the anticipatory bail application moved by the MP.
