AP court restrains parties from making remarks on Vivekanada Reddy murder case in poll campaign

Vivekananda Reddy, younger brother of former Chief Minister YS Rajasekhar Reddy, was found hacked to death at his residence in Pulivendula in Kadapa district in March 2019.

Current Kadapa Lok Sabha Member YS Avinash Reddy is one of the accused in this case, who is battling the case over this matter.

“This court is of the considered opinion that when a case is pending before a competent court for adjudication, no one is entitled to step into the shoes of the court themselves with no authorisation and give their verdict and term any of the person so involved in such in such case, as murder/ guilty person, according to their whim and fancies,” the court observed.

Vivekanada Reddy’s murder case has become an election campaign issue in Andhra Pradesh with Sharmila, Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan and others highlighting and targeting YSRCP on several occasions, linking the murder case to Jagan.
