The murder case of Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s uncle and former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy is currently being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
As the CBI has speeded up the probe, Viveka’s daughter Suneetha has alleged threat to her family. She wrote to the Kadapa district Superintendent of Police on Friday, seeking a threat analysis for her family. She said that there was an alleged suspicious movement near her residence in Pulivendula.
In the letter, Suneetha revealed that at 5:20 pm on the 10th of this month, a suspect wandered around their house twice, stopped at the next door of the house compound and made phone calls.
Eventually, the man was identified as Manikanta Reddy and she revealed that he is very close to D Shiva Shankar Reddy, who was a key suspect in the murder of his father.
“Mr. D. Siva Shankar Reddy is the prime suspect in the brutal murder of my father Mr. Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy and I have made this allegation to every investigation officer since August 2019,” she wrote.
The police, after identifying the suspect and questioning him, it was found that he was a catering contractor, and the suspect said he was looking to rent a place in the area for his catering business.
