A tense moment unfolded at the Nampalli CBI court as Andhra Pradesh former Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy arrived for the ongoing hearing in his disproportionate assets case. During his visit, he reportedly came face-to-face with his cousin sister, Dr. YS Sunitha Reddy. The encounter drew attention due to the long-standing family friction linked to the murder case of her father, YS Vivekananda Reddy. Sunitha has been pursuing justice in her father’s murder case and has frequently approached the CBI court demanding a faster investigation. She has also suggested the involvement of individuals associated with Jagan’s close circle, leading to a complete breakdown of relations between the two families. Their strained dynamic set the stage for an emotionally charged atmosphere at the court premises.  Despite crossing each other’s paths, both Jagan and Sunitha reportedly avoided any direct acknowledgment or interaction. They took separate routes within the court premises, ensuring no verbal or visual communication. The silence between the two reflected the deep personal and political rift that has remained unresolved for years. What makes the situation striking is that instead of standing together as family during times of legal and emotional turmoil, the cousins find themselves on opposing ends. Sunitha continues to question individuals like Avinash Reddy—key figures close to Jagan—while urging the Chief Minister to show compassion and support in pursuing the truth behind her father’s murder. However, her appeals have not resulted in any reconciliation, highlighting a widening divide within one of Andhra Pradesh’s most influential political families.

The long-pending CBI and ED cases involving Jagan have remained nearly inactive for many years, with hearings moving at a slow pace and the accused avoiding personal attendance. Over the past several years, Jagan has not appeared before the CBI court despite multiple hearings being scheduled, leading to increasing discussions over prolonged delays. Now, for the first time in years, Jagan has been directed to appear in person, bringing renewed attention to the long-standing cases. Reports indi
