The YSRC MP Avinash Reddy accused in the murder of former Minister and MP Vivekananda Reddy filed a lunch motion petition before the bench of Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan, and the court admitted his petition, scheduling it for a hearing at 2.30 pm, half an hour before Avniash was to appear before the CBI for questioning.
The high court has asked the CBI to produce all records pertaining to the Vivekananda Reddy murder case. The summons to Avinash follow the arrest of his father Y S Bhaskar Reddy in the same case at Pulivendula on Sunday.
The arrest of Bhaskar Reddy triggered an uproar in the party as he is the maternal uncle of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy’s wife Bharati Reddy and also the paternal uncle of Jagan.
Bhaskar Reddy was produced before a CBI magistrate court on Sunday evening and remanded to judicial custody. The CBI has sought the magistrate’s permission to take Bhaskar Reddy into custody for ten days for questioning.
Meanwhile CM Jagan who is the brother of Avinash canceled his official programs citing no reason. It is believed that the CM and his close aids are closely monitoring the situation around Avinash.
Tense situation is prevailing in Pulivendual anticipating the arrest of MP Avinash.
