HYDERABAD: The murder of Abdullapurmet tahsildar Ch Vijaya Reddy has taken a political turn with former Congress MLA Malreddy Rangareddy accuing Ibrahimpatnam TRS MLA Manchireddy Kishan Reddy of being behind the Monday’s outrage.Hitting back, Kishan Reddy said that it was Rangareddy who had driven Suresh, accused in Vijaya Reddy’s murder to committing the crime as it was his (Rangareddy’s) relatives who had purchased land parcels from Suresh’s father Krishnaiah and paternal uncle Durgaiah.
Rangareddy, demanding CBI inquiry into the murder, described the legislator as one who was into real estate in the area and accused him of clinching several shady deals. “Kishan Reddy is part of the real estate mafia. He is in the TRS with the sole intention of evading the law. The police should interrogate him as he is responsible for the murder,” the Congress leader said.
Rangareddy further said, “This is a murder done by the government. Suresh is not an imbecile as is being portrayed by the legislator. How could a person who is not mentally stable commit such gruesome murder?” Rangareddy asked and alleged Kishan Reddy had links with gangster Nayeem.
He also dared Kishan Reddy to prove his allegations. He said he did not own any land in the area and he would be happy if the legislator identifies any land as his and he would not mind even if it is distributed among the poor.
Reeling off names of persons who he said were related to the Congress leader, Kishan Reddy said the documents available with him easily nailed Rangareddy as they established his connection with the family of the accused.Alleging that the ruling party leaders were behind the killing, Congress Legislative Party (CLP) leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka demanded the government to order a probe by a sitting high court judge or CBI.
