Supreme Court would hear the anticipatory bail petition of Kadapa MP Y S Avinash Reddy Today. The petition would come up before the bench consisting of Justice J K Maheshwari and Justice Pamidigantam Sri Narasimha.
Avinash is seeking bail on the health grounds of his mother. Right now he is with his mother in a hospital in Kurnool. His followers have surrounded the hospital and are not allowing the CBI to enter the hospital.
The petition was filed by Avinash Reddy seeking anticipatory bail as the CBI officials were trying to arrest him in the murder of former minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy in March 2019.
The MP alleged that the CBI was targeting him to serve the political interests of the TDP leadership. He also alleged that the CBI’s inquiry was going on the lines of the TDP statements. However, the CBI officials have brushed aside the MP’s allegations.
They have also filed a petition before the court stating that Avinash Reddy and his father Bhaskara Reddy were behind the murder. The CBI also alleged that both the father and the son hatched the plan to eliminate Vivekananda Reddy who reportedly opposed the YSR Congress giving Kadapa MP seat to Avinash Reddy.
The CBI on the other hand is planning to get more forces to arrest Avinash here at the Hospital. Right now they are waiting for the verdict from the supreme court on the bail petition of Avinash Reddy.
