The Telangana High Court ordered a fresh inquiry into the case on April 24. The hearing in the court was held on April 27 and 28, but the arguments were not completed after which the court adjourned the hearing to June 5. However, the court refused to grant interim relief to Avinash Reddy. Reddy approached the Supreme Court after the CBI issued a notice asking him to attend the investigation.

Kadapa MP Avinash Reddy is facing a threat of arrest by the CBI in the Vivekananad murder case. The CBI had recently summoned him for questioning. However, Avinash Reddy failed to appear before the CBI for questioning while citing his mother's illness. High drama ensued at the Viswabharati hospital as supporters of Avinash Reddy created a ruckus and chased and attacked mediapersons who had rushed to the spot to cover a raid by CBI sleuths at the hospital possibly to arrest Avinash Reddy.
