Avinash Reddy had no role behind YS Vivekananda Reddy's murder, CBI probe is partial, says Andhra Pradesh govt advisor

AMARAVATI: Andhra Pradesh government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has alleged that the CBI probe into YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case is progressing as per the TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu’s directions.
He raised suspicion that Naidu is influencing the probe agency through his aides in BJP. Sajjala asserted that Kadapa MP YS Avinash Reddy had no role behind the murder.
Speaking to the media at the Chief Minister’s camp office on Friday, Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that CBI is looked deliberately taking the probe to target few people.
“We strongly believe that Avinash Reddy had no role to play in the murder of Avinash Reddy. There is no evidence to point his role. TDP supremo Naidu is an expert in readying a perfect script to defame the leaders from the rival camp with a systematic campaign,” said Sajjala.
He said that murder took place when Naidu was at the helm in the state and it was a conspiracy hatched by TDP chief to demoralize YSRCP chief Jagan Mohan Reddy ahead of the last general elections. He said that Viveka’s murder was a big loss for Jagan at personal level and YSRCP as a whole.
He said that it was Jagan who welcomed Viveka into party and fielded him in MLC elections in 2017. He ridiculed the argument that YSRCP itself hatched the conspiracy.
He alleged that TDP leaders Adinarayana Reddy, B Tech Ravi had close links with the criminals. He said that CBI had not interrogated B Tech Ravi, Adinarayana Reddy and brother-in-law of Vivekananda Reddy, Sivaprakash Reddy who first called Avinash to inform about the death.
He said that it was Sivaprakash Reddy told Avinash that Viveka died of cardiac arrest. He dared CBI to probe into as to why the call records of Vivekananda Reddy to retrieve to bring more facts to light. He wanted to know as to why CBI did not seize the mobile phones of Adinarayana Reddy, son-in-law of Vivekananda Reddy, Rajasekhara Reddy.
