Y S Sunitha Reddy, daughter of slain leader Y S Vivekananda Reddy, made some sensational comments stating that some top police officials were bringing psychological pressure on her to drop her fight for the CBI case into her father’s murder.
Sunitha met the top officials of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in New Delhi on Friday and requested them to expedite the case of her father’s murder.
“It is purely a political murder. So far, not a single person has been arrested or questioned. If the investigation is delayed, there would be no witnesses in the case in future,” she said.
Viveka, brother of former chief minister Y S Rajasekhar Reddy and uncle of present chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, was murdered at his residence in Pulivendula on the night of March 15, 2019, weeks before the state assembly elections. The high court entrusted the case to the CBI last year.
Sunitha, who has been running from pillar to post, to get the investigation done in a speedy manner, said she was shocked when a senior police official told me to give up the fight.
“He said such instances of murders were very common in Kurnool and Kadapa,” she said.
She told the reporters in Delhi that the police officer had asked her to drop the case in the interest of her children.
“I was surprised when he told me to forget whatever had happened; otherwise, it would have serious impact on my children’s future,” she said.
Sunitha said she was not a politician nor was she a social activist.
“If it can happen to a former chief minister’s brother and present chief minister’s uncle, what would happen to the common man? Already an accused in the case has died and if the investigation is delayed, no witness would come forward to depose,” she said.
