After Kadapa SP Rahul Dev Sarma was transferred, there was speculation that the investigation into YS Vivekananda Reddy murder would be badly affected. But, in a rather surprising move, the Kadapa police showed the arrest of three persons on the charges of tampering evidence at the scene of Viveka murder. The move sent a strong message on how the TDP government is serious to take the case to a logical conclusion.

In the beginning, there were reports that evidence tampering like cleaning blood and shifting the body was done at the instructions of YCP MP candidate YS Avinash Reddy who in turn reportedly received phone instructions from none other than YS Jaganmohan Reddy. In the evidence tampering case, names of Avinash Reddy or Jagan were not mentioned. In the next two days, the main accused in the murder case will have to be named.

As it is the election time, the police are taking all precautions not to give any scope for the politicisation of the murder. The YCP leaders have petitioned the Election Commission of India which in turn transferred the SP. Amid all this, the government and the district police are eager to come out with details of main suspects as early as possible.
