The chief minister questioned whether Kedar’s death had anything to do with the authorities speeding up the investigation into the drugs case in Hyderabad.
Revanth Reddy also questioned KTR’s silence on Kedar’s death and why he was not demanding an inquiry into it, suggesting that there might be more to the incident than meets the eye.
Revanth Reddy also has raised concerns about the death of advocate Ganta Sajiva Reddy, who died of a heart attack last year in Hanamkonda, and social activist N Rajalinga Murthy, who was brutally murdered in Bhupalpally on 19 February.
