I Know Everything, But I Can’t Say It: Varra Ravindra Reddy on First Day of Custody
“I know everything, but I can’t give answers,” stated YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) social media activist Varra Ravindra Reddy during police interrogation on his first day in custody. Reddy was arrested on charges of posting objectionable content, including morphing photos and derogatory remarks against ruling party leaders. He was taken into custody by the police yesterday for further questioning. Pulivendula Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Muralinaik reportedly asked him around 30 questions.
Sources revealed that Ravindra Reddy did not provide a clear answer to questions regarding who encouraged him to post such content. Instead, he is said to have repeatedly claimed that he knew the answers but could not disclose them. His lawyer Obul Reddy was present during the interrogation, where audio and video recordings of the session were made.
During the investigation, police seized 43 Facebook accounts linked to Varra Ravindra Reddy. These accounts reportedly contained offensive posts targeting Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, ministers Pawan Kalyan, Nara Lokesh, Anitha, their family members, and Y.S. Sharmila along with her mother Vijayamma and Sunitha.
When confronted with the offensive posts, Reddy allegedly admitted to posting them himself. However, he also claimed that 18 fake accounts had been created in his name without his knowledge to post similar content.
Following the completion of yesterday’s custody, a medical examination was conducted, after which Reddy was transferred to Kadapa jail. The investigation is set to continue today as well.
