It has been four years since former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy was murdered and Viveka’s daughter Dr Sunitha Reddy is waging a lone battle for justice against many odds. On the occasion of her father’s death anniversary, Sunitha paid homage to Viveka and spoke to media persons and made a few comments.
“When my father was killed, some people told me that such things (killings) are common in Kadapa and Kurnool districts. Why are you surprised? I was shell-shocked, but my intentions are that none should face the trauma I’m going through and so I’m fighting alone for justice,” Sunitha said. She requested the AP government not to interfere in the investigation. The facts behind this murder should come out. I am not doing this out of revenge against any individual, but only for justice, she said.
Referring to the petition she filed in the Telangana High Court, Sunitha expressed sadness that she had to level allegations against her own family members. “Whatever doubts I had, I have mentioned in the petition submitted to the court. They have killed my father brutally and the culprits should be punished,” she said. Sunitha categorically told her family members, especially those from CM Jagan’s side, not to disturb the current flow of CBI probe.
