Higher police authorities are suspecting that there was a conspiracy to hide the involvement of former chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy and his car, in which he was travelling, in the accidental death of YSRCP dalit activist Chili Singaiah after being hit by the car.
On the 18th, while Jagan was on a tour to visit the family of YSRCP Rentapalla Upasarpanch Nagamalleshwara Rao, who committed suicide after losing Rs. 1.5 crore by betting on the election results a year ago, the car in which he was travelling hit Singayya, a plumber from Vengalayapalem, at the Etukuru bypass.
Singayya, who fell down under the car, was seriously injured when he went ahead. Later, the YSRCP activists shouted loudly, and the driver stopped the car. After taking Singayya out, he went ahead. Singayya passed away shortly after. YCP MP YV Subba Reddy, former ministers Vidadala Rajani, Perni Nani, Jagan’s PA K. Nageswara Reddy, driver Ramana Reddy and others who were travelling in the car.
All of them believed to be aware that the death was due to being hit by their car. However, the YCP leaders, who thought that if this matter came out, it would cause not only political but also legal trouble, conspired to mislead the case.
In this sequence, it came to the notice of the higher officials that along with the main leader from Guntur district, YCP leader Talasila Raghuram from Krishna district had entered the fray. It seems that one of the cars in Jagan’s convoy, the car of Devineni Avinash’s follower, was deliberately brought to the fore.
The YCP leader from Vijayawada cleverly leaked the car number of Devineni’s followers to the police. Usually, in road accident cases, the police do not announce the vehicle number on the spot even if they see it with their own eyes. But, on the same day, the police in a hurry announced that the accident occurred due to a collision with a car with the number AP 26CE 0001 and that Singayya died.
However, the intelligence agencies clearly recorded a video with the numbers of the cars participating in Jagan’s convoy that day and provided it to the higher authorities. It came to their attention that the YSRCP leaders had tried to mislead the case with the intention of avoiding a case against Jagan.
Moreover, the Tadepalli CI’s arrest of the Devineni follower’s car, driver and owner in Vijayawada within 24 hours led to more doubts. While they were being interrogated, videos of Singayya being hit by Jagan’s car emerged. In these circumstances, the higher authorities, after examining the developments that took place on the 18th and 19th, ordered a high-level investigation into the matter.
As a result, it seems that the police department is examining their call data to find out who came into contact with leaders from Guntur and Krishna districts on those dates. The drone visuals taken by the police that day, as well as the video footage taken by locals on their cellphones, clearly showed the death of Singhaiah after being hit by Jagan’s car.
