  • Accused in Vivekananda Reddy murder case to be produced in Hyderabad court

    Accused in Vivekananda Reddy murder case to be produced in Hyderabad court

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: The accused in the four-year-old sensational murder case of former Andhra Pradesh Minister Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy will be produced before the CBI Special Court in Hyderabad on Friday.

    This would be the first time after the Supreme Court transferred the case from Kadapa to Hyderabad that the accused will make an appearance in the court.

    Sunil Yadav, Umashankar Reddy and Devireddy Shivshankar Reddy, currently lodged in Kadapa jail, were being brought to Hyderabad amid tight security.

    Erra Gangi Reddy, who is on bail and driver Dastagiri, who has turned an approver, will also appear in the court.

    The CBI court has issued separate summons to all the accused to appear before it on Friday. Production warrants were issued to the accused lodge in the Kadapa Jail while the investigating agency issued summons to other two accused.

    Vivekananda Reddy, paternal uncle of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, was found murdered mysteriously at his residence at Pulivendula in Kadapa district on March 15, 2019, a month ahead of 2019 general elections.

    The 68-year-old former state minister and former MP, brother of former chief minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, was alone at his house when unidentified persons barged in and killed him. He was killed hours before he was to launch YSR Congress Party’s election campaign in Kadapa.

    Though three Special Investigation Teams (SITs) conducted the probe they failed to solve the mystery.

    The CBI took over the investigation into the case in 2020 on the direction of Andhra Pradesh High Court while hearing a petition of Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter Sunitha Reddy, who raised suspicion about some relatives.

    The CBI filed a charge sheet in the murder case on October 26, 2021 and followed it up with a supplementary charge sheet on January 31, 2022

    In November last year, the Supreme Court transferred to a CBI court in Hyderabad the trial and probe into the larger conspiracy behind the murder. The apex court observed that doubts raised by Sunitha Reddy about getting a fair trial and investigation in Andhra Pradesh were reasonable.

    Stepping up the pace of investigation, the CBI on January 28 questioned Kadapa MP Y.S. Avinash Reddy, for more than four-and-a-half hours.

    Avinash Reddy is nephew of Vivekananda Reddy and cousin of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy.

    On February 3, the CBI questioned Krishna Mohan Reddy, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) for the chief minister.

    The central agency also quizzed Naveen, who works in the house of the chief minister. The CBI officials questioned the duo for six-and-a-half hours in Kadapa.

    They were reportedly questioned about the sequence of events on the day when Vivekananda Reddy was murdered. They collected information about phone calls made or received by them on the day.

    Home minister Mahmood Ali, Chevella MP Ranjith Reddy and other officials were also present in the review meeting.

    Akbar, during an Assembly session on Saturday, had slammed the BRS over the ‘injustices’ done to the Old City. In response to this KTR stated that the AIMIM MLA with just seven seats was taking much more than the time allotted to it.

    Akbar angered by his reply had said that the AIMIM will contest 50 Assembly seats in the coming election and try to win at least 15 seats so that his party gets a greater say in the Assembly.

    While addressing the review meeting, KTR said that irrespective of political affiliations and areas, the development of the entire Hyderabad was the ultimate motto of the state government.

    KTR listed out the projects underway and progress achieved in providing drinking water, power supply, mobility infrastructure, maintaining sanitation, conservation of heritage structures and works on other fronts during the meet.

    The Minister said, “As part of the Strategic Road Development Programme (SRDP), strengthening of the road network in the Old City area is going on at a brisk pace and several flyovers, and construction of roads have been completed,” adding that projects worth crores of rupees were underway.

    Stressing on road widening in the Old City area, KTR asked officials to speed up the work in localities where it was essential.

    He further went on to say that works related to traffic junctions, and the construction of FoBs were under progress and the construction of bridges across the River Musi will be taken up soon.

    Drawing attention towards the water supply in the Old City area, KTR said that the drinking water supply has improved in the last eight years and that more than Rs 1,200 crore was spent for the same.

    “Over 2.5 lakh tap connections were provided in the Old City under the free water supply scheme of the Telangana government and the HMWS&SB has taken up several initiatives to strengthen the sewage water system.

    Regarding future developments, the minister said, “Plans are ready for the restoration of Mir Alam Mandi and that the proposals for the construction of a six-line cable bridge over Mir Alam Tank are in the stage.”

    Expressing satisfaction over the priority given to the development of the Old City, Akbar thanked the government and assured that his party would extend all support to implement the development projects.

    Double-decker buses return to Hyderabad after two decades

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: After two decades, double-decker buses returned on the roads of Hyderabad with the launch of three electric double-decker buses on Tuesday.

    With the Formula E-prix scheduled in Hyderabad on February 11, these buses will be predominantly plying around the race track covering Tank Bund, Necklace Road, Paradise, and Nizam College stretch. After February 11, the buses are planned to be used along a heritage circuit to augment tourism for the city.

    Double-decker buses have a historical relevance in Hyderabad. The conventional double decker buses were started by the Nizam and plied in the city up until 2003.

    Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister K.T. Rama Rao and Chief Secretary A Shanti Kumari flagged off the buses in presence of Chevella MP G. Ranjith Reddy, Chandrayangutta MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi, and Special Chief Secretary, Municipal Affairs and Urban Development, Arvind Kumar.

    HMDA plans to extend this fleet up to 20 buses. According to officials, the price of each bus is 2.16 crores and comes with an AMC of 7 years.
