Criminal conspiracy in the murder of Y. S. Vivekananda Reddy
[edit]Avinash Reddy was summoned by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on criminal conspiracy [5] related to the murder of Y. S. Vivekananda Reddy, who has been brutally murdered and found at his residence in Kadapa on 15 March 2019. The death was first reported as a heart attack but later found to be a murder which led to further suspicion.[6][7] The murder took place few weeks before the 2019 Andhra Pradesh General Elections. Along with his father Bhaskar Reddy, Avinash Reddy has been accused of conspiracy in the murder of Bhasker Reddy's cousin Vivekananda Reddy, based on a list of suspects submitted by the victim’s daughter Suneetha Nareddy.[8] The CBI has sent a notice to Avinash Reddy to attend the inquiry on 19 May 2023.[5][9][10]
