The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued a notice, for the third time, to YSRCP MP from Kadapa YS Avinash Reddy in connection with the YS Vivekananda Reddy murder case. MP Avinash and his father YS Bhaskar Reddy have been summoned to appear before it at its Hyderabad office on March 6, for further questioning.
The Kadapa MP reportedly sought another date while expressing his inability to turn up for questioning on March 6. But, the CBI insisted on the YSRCP leader appearing before the CBI on Monday without fail.
A team of CBI officials visited the house of YS Bhaskar Reddy in Pulivendula on Saturday and served the summons. YS Avinash Reddy was reportedly not at home when the CBI team served the notices.
The CBI has already questioned YS Avinash Reddy, cousin of YSRCP president and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, in connection with the murder of former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy.
On February 24, the CBI team questioned Avinash Reddy at the CBI office in Hyderabad. The Kadapa MP was earlier questioned on January 28. Interestingly, this time, the CBI has summoned both Avinash Reddy and Bhaskar Reddy for questioning, based on the information it extracted from other key accused in the case. Following his questioning on February 24, YS Avinash Reddy told the media that he had answered all the questions posed by the CBI and that he submitted a memorandum containing all the facts he knew about the case.
