Questions related to Viveka murder case remain unanswered: Suneetha

-

Suneetha Narreddy, daughter of former MP Y.S. Vivekanand­a Reddy, who was murdered ahead of the 2019 elections, raised a bunch of questions which she said ‘remained unanswered’.

She conducted a press conference at her father’s residence in Pulivendul­a in Kadapa district. She recalled the series of events that unfolded from the dawn of 15 March 2019, when the news ‘rst came to light, and also dug out Google Takeout details, which, according to the CBI chargeshee­t, showed several phone numbers of the accused staying in contact before and after the incident.

Dr. Suneetha demanded that the government explain the ‘gaping loopholes’ in the probe and the charges made by the judiciary over alleged noncoopera­tion by the State. She recalled that her cousin brother Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had demanded CBI probe as the opposition leader and later withdrew the petition after taking over the reins of the State as the Chief Minister.

“At one stage, the media house owned by Pulivendul­a’s ‘rst family blamed TDP. Later, it accused me and my husband of conspiracy. As both can’t be true at the same time, they owe an explanatio­n for spreading lies,” she alleged.

She said the YSRCP government was in no mood to accept criticism.

“While India got freedom in 1947, our constituen­cy is yet to gain independen­ce, which is under the grip of those in power,” she alleged.

She alleged that the common man is harrassed in Pulivendul­a for publicly discussing things that are unpleasant to the rulers. “There is always a stoic silence, which is why I am forced to address the media from this Ground Zero,” she said.
