Kranthi Shekar - MAR 16, 2026

Seven years after the death of senior political leader Y. S. Vivekananda Reddy, his daughter has once again appealed for justice and expressed dissatisfaction with the progress of the investigation. On the anniversary of her father’s death, she spoke about the pain the family continues to experience and highlighted several concerns about how the case has been handled.
Vivekananda Reddy, a former Member of Parliament from Kadapa and a prominent political figure in Andhra Pradesh, was found murdered at his residence in Pulivendula in March 2019. The incident created shock across the state and quickly became one of the most widely discussed criminal cases in the region.
Renewed Call for Justice
Marking the seventh anniversary of the tragedy, his daughter emphasized that the family’s search for justice is still ongoing. She stated that despite years of investigation, the complete truth behind the murder has not yet been revealed.
According to her, the family has waited for many years hoping that the investigation would clearly establish who was responsible and why the crime was committed. However, she believes that important questions about the case remain unresolved.
She stressed that the demand for justice is not driven by politics but by the family’s desire to see accountability and transparency in the investigation.
Concerns About the Probe
The case is being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation, India’s premier investigative agency. Even so, Vivekananda Reddy’s daughter has pointed out what she considers shortcomings in the probe.
She argued that certain aspects of the case deserve deeper examination and that every possible angle should be explored to uncover the full story behind the murder. In her view, a comprehensive investigation should examine all evidence and connections carefully to ensure that no detail is overlooked.
She also suggested that the investigation should focus not only on individuals accused of direct involvement but also on identifying any wider conspiracy that might have led to the crime.
Ongoing Legal Process
Over the years, the case has moved through several legal stages, with hearings taking place in different courts. Members of the family have filed petitions seeking further investigation and raising concerns about certain developments in the case.
These legal efforts reflect the family’s determination to ensure that the investigation is thorough and fair. They believe that only a complete and transparent process can bring justice and clarity.
Public Attention on the Case
Because Vivekananda Reddy was a well-known political leader in Andhra Pradesh, the case has attracted widespread public attention. Many people across the state continue to follow the developments closely.
Observers say that cases involving prominent personalities often receive significant scrutiny from the public, the media, and political circles. As a result, the investigation into his murder has remained a topic of discussion even years after the incident.
A Family Waiting for Closure
For Vivekananda Reddy’s family, the anniversary of his death is not only a time to remember him but also a reminder of the unanswered questions surrounding the case. His daughter has repeatedly said that the family will continue its efforts until the truth behind the murder is fully revealed.
Seven years after the tragic incident, the demand remains clear: a complete investigation, accountability for those responsible, and justice for a leader whose death continues to raise serious questions.
