Enforcement Directorate Raids Premises Linked to Vivekananda Reddy Murder Case
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at multiple premises linked to YSRCP MP Y S Avinash Reddy and others in connection with the 2019 murder of former Andhra Pradesh minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy. The searches, carried out under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, targeted alleged financial irregularities tied to the case. YSRCP leaders criticized the raids as politically motivated distractions from other state issues. The investigation follows earlier probes by the CBI, which alleged a contract killing and arrested some accused, all denying wrongdoing.
