The agency had questioned him a few times in the matter before he fled with his family to Goa. The CBI then tracked him down and caught him. Y S Vivekananda Reddy, a former minister, was found dead at his residence in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh on March 15, 2019. He was alone at home at the time. His family had alleged that the death was not due to natural causes and a case of unnatural death had been registered.
