ACB Court Extends Chandrababu Naidu’s Remand in Skill Development Case:
Previously, the Vijayawada Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) court had reserved its judgment on the bail petition of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu. This decision came after the ACB court extended the remand of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Chief in connection with the alleged multi-crore skill development scam case until October 19.
Chandrababu Naidu, the former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP leader, was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) last month in connection with the alleged multi-crore skill development scam case. This arrest led to political turmoil in the state, with many TDP leaders claiming it to be a politically motivated “witch-hunt” based on false allegations.
In the midst of these developments, Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department chief N Sanjay asserted that Naidu was the main conspirator in the AP Skill Development scam, stating that Naidu had orchestrated corruption during his tenure as Chief Minister.
Furthermore, the Supreme Court did not grant interim relief to Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case on Tuesday. The court has scheduled a hearing for Naidu’s plea on October 9.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Chandrababu Naidu’s wife, Nara Bhuvaneswari, and several Telugu Desam Party leaders staged a protest against his arrest. They symbolically switched off the lights at the party’s temporary camp office and lit earthen lamps in protest.
