The 68 year old is said to have died due to a cardiac arrest, however, the postmortem reports state, he was murdered.
The doubt regarding the murder cropped up due to the situation and the circumstances in which Reddy’s body was found. Vivekananda Reddy was found dead in the bathroom, at his residence in Kadapa district. It is said, Vivekananda was alone at his house when the incident took place.
M.V. Krishna Reddy, the Personal Advisor of Vivekananda Reddy, reached Vivekananda’s residence at around 5:30 A.M., and found blood stains in the room and his body in the bathroom.
