MP Avinash Reddy Absent for Inquiry in Vikananda Reddy's Murder Case

In the murder case of former Andhra Pradesh minister YS Vivekananda Reddy, Member of Parliament (MP) YS Avinash Reddy has written to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to inform them of his inability to appear for the scheduled inquiry today (Tuesday). He cited pre-decided engagements as the reason for his absence, and requested an extension of four days. Avinash Reddy spoke to the media outside his residence at Jubilee Hills on Tuesday morning, explaining that he is currently involved in some urgent work and hence could not attend the inquiry. He further informed them about his predetermined schedule that he is obliged to follow. However, as of now, there has been no response from the CBI regarding Avinash Reddy's request, leading to speculation about the next steps in the case. It was known that Avinash Reddy, who was due to appear for inquiry in Vivekananda Reddy's murder case, had received a notice from the CBI on Monday. The notice had asked him to be present for questioning at the CBI office at 11 a.m. on Tuesday. The MP has already been interrogated by CBI officials on several occasions, with statements recorded. After a gap of almost 20 days, the CBI issued a fresh summons for questioning. On the other hand, the Telangana High Court has dismissed a petition filed by MP Avinash Reddy seeking anticipatory bail in this case. The further course of action in the case is eagerly awaited.
