HYDERABAD: The CBI on Friday told the Telangana high court that Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy was informed about his uncle and former minister YS Vivekananda Reddy’s murder in 2019 much before the news became public, reports SagarKumar Mutha. This is the first time Jagan’s name has cropped up in the sensational murder that took place on March 15 that year, in the midst of the Lok Sabha election campaigning.
The central agency made the claim while opposing YSRCP’s Kadapa MP YS Avinash Reddy’s anticipatory bail plea in the HC. It said it suspected a larger conspiracy in the case. The MP and his father YS Bhaskar Reddy, who is in judicial remand, are being seen as the prime accused in the case.
The development comes at atime when Jagan is in Delhi to attend the Niti Aayog meeting and is also likely to take part in the inauguration of the new Parliament building on May 28. On Friday, he met finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
In its affidavit, CBI said it got an internet protocol detail recordsanalysis done on Avinash’s WhatsApp calls and chats. As it showed the MP was active on his phone before and after the murder, it wanted to know his role in informing Jagan. “This aspect needs to be investigated and for this, we want to take Avinash into custody and interrogate him,” the CBI said.
The analysis revealed that Avinash was active on WhatsApp and had exchanged voice calls just before the murder between 12. 27am and 1. 10am.
