YSR Reddy death conspiracy: Any role of Mukesh Ambani?

The untimely death of Yeduguri Sandinti Rajasekhara Reddy (to his fans he is more famous as YSR) that took place on September 2009 still is grieved by many people in Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. This is a very sensitive and emotional issue for many people as the reason for his death is still unknown. He died in a helicopter accident and many people became so sad that more than 600 people died from heart attack and killed themselves as a reaction to this tragedy. So, I do not need to repeat the matter that YSR was a very popular person. Earlier today, unfortunately, a TV channel in India reported that a Russian Magazine called The Exiled has published a detailed report that Mukesh Ambani had something to do behind the death of YSR.
Many other channels broadcast this item in India and it caused a lot of anger among the fans of YSR. They got very excited and attacked a number of f Reliance Retail outlets in Andhra Pradesh were attacked.
Reliance Retail is a subsidiary of Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL).
The incident occurred after 7 pm when a local television channel started airing that a Russian web magazine, The Exiled, had speculated that there could be a conspiracy behind Reddy’s death, as he had stressed that the gas find by RIL in the Krishna-Godavari basin was a national asset and the Ambani brothers, including their mother Kokilaben, had no right to distribute it between them.

It was a very confusing thing and attack to Reliance outlets was a shameful act. Until now, the whole thing is very unclear and the TV channel that broadcast the original report should be asked to provide all the information they found.

The Russian website, which was subsequently blocked, claimed to have extracted a purported confession from a former US associate of an Indian tycoon about an attempt to blow up the helicopter of the industrialist’s feuding brother. The associate is believed to have insinuated a similar plot to kill YSR since he was opposed to the corporate house extracting gas for its own use.

Andhra Pradesh government should take swift actions to maintain and law an order in the state. Andhra Pradesh is one of flourishing states in India and it is important that the mob do not do anything that can undermine the development of this state.
I have no sympathy towards Mukesh Ambani but the whole thing at this point of time is very hazy. YSR fans should demand for independent investigation to the whole YSR Reddy death conspiracy instead of attacking Reliance outlets. As far as I can understand, YSR never dreamt that his supporters would take law in their own hands for obscure report in a Russian website.
