"'I have been associated with Vivekananda Reddy for almost 30 years and have remained loyal to their family. I was shattered to learn about the gory murder of Vivekananda Reddy, but I have nothing to do with the murder. I'm a heart patient and was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Tirupati from last few days. I was not even there in Pulivendula when the incident took place. But unfortunately someone is trying to frame me in the murder," Parameswara Reddy told media and the SIT team.Parameswara Reddy's wife Subhashini Reddy said the manner in which the murder took place clearly establishes that some insiders were involved. "It is the family members who removed all the evidences from the bedroom and the bathroom immediately after the murder was reported. So, the family members should be questioned and not us," Subhashini said.Earlier on Monday, the SIT had questioned former Kadapa MP YS Avinash Reddy at the deputy superintendent office at Pulivendula.On Sunday night, Kadapa Superintendent of Police (SP) Rahul Dev Sharma had stated that it was the local inspector who first received a phone call from Avinash Reddy's PA Raghava Reddy's mobile phone on March 15.

Avinash Reddy was summoned to the Pulivendula DSP office for clarifications about the same. Interestingly, two calls were received by the police department from Avinash Reddy's office that conveyed the same message twice.The Kadapa SP had already underlined that one special team was also investigating the heart attack reports spread immediately after Vivekananda Reddy's death. Devireddy Sivasankar Reddy, who was questioned by the SIT on Sunday, was again summoned for questioning on Monday.
