Home Minister Sabitha Indra Reddy, on Monday, dismissed reports that appeared in a section of media, linking her son Karthik Reddy with
Bhanu Kiran, the prime accused in the murder case of Rayalaseema factionist Maddelacheruvu Suri.
Talking to media persons, the Home minister denied media reports that her son Karthik Reddy was allegedly involved in Suri's murder.
She congratulated the CID for arresting Bhanu Kiran. Stating that no one involved in Suri's murder would be spared, she said that the CID has been given full powers to arrest anyone in connection with the investigations.
"The CID will launch a probe against anyone, including my son Karthik Reddy, if it finds any vital clue in connection with the murder of Suri," she said.
Responding to a question on the Congress and Telugu Desam Party staging parallel dharnas on the liquor scam in Vizianagaram district, the Home minister said that leaders of both the parties have not taken any prior permission for staging the dharnas, and that they were unnecessarily causing a law and order problem in the district.
She said that the District Police has been asked to take all measures to control the situation.
Sabitha said that files relating to lifting of police cases against the students who participated in the Telangana agitation are pending with Chief Minister N KIran Kumar Reddy. (INN)
