A Division Bench of the Andhra Pradesh High Court, comprising Justices U. Durga Prasad Rao and Venkata Jyothirmai Pratapa, on Friday upheld the verdict of the single judge, Justice R. Raghunandan Rao, that there was no need for a CBI inquiry into the murder of driver V. Subramanyam allegedly by suspended YSR Congress Party MLC Anantha Satya Udaya Bhaskar.
Subramanyam’s parents Nookaratnam and Satyanarayana had filed a petition seeking a CBI probe on the ground that the police inquiry was not comprehensive and attempts were made to dilute the case due to vested interests.
Udaya Bhaskar had allegedly killed Subrahmanyam in May 2022 and brought the body in his own vehicle and dumped it near his parents’ house in Kakinada. The petitioners’ advocate J. Shravan Kumar said an appeal would be filed in the Supreme Court for justice.
