Former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu Gets Regular Bail | Skill Development Scam Case

editor November 20, 2023

Amaravati (Andhra Pradesh), Nov 20: In the skill development case, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday granted bail to former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu. According to Andhra Pradesh High Court lawyer Sunkara Krishnamurthy, Chandrababu Naidu was granted temporary bail until November 28. In this case, regular bail has been granted by the Andhra Pradesh High Court. Siddarth Luthra, an advocate for the TDP legal team, presented arguments in support of Chandrababu Naidu. TDP leaders and supporters expressed satisfaction with the court's ruling. The TDP chieftain left Rajahmundry jail earlier this month on October 31, following his issuance of temporary bail by the Andhra Pradesh High Court regarding an alleged skill development case.Naidu was placed in judicial custody for 53 days, with a four-week interim bond issued. The arrest of the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on September 9 in relation to the multi-crore skill development scam case caused political unrest in the state, with multiple TDP leaders claiming that Naidu was detained on the basis of false accusations and that the arrest was nothing more than a political "witch-hunt." In addition to the skill development case, Naidu is accused in two other graft cases: the Inner Ring Road scam and the Fibernet scam.The FiberNet case concerns purported tender manipulation in which a favoured company was given a work order under Phase-1 of the Andhra Pradesh FiberNet Project, which involves Rs. 330 crore. The Andhra Pradesh police's Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has accused the project of having irregularities from the time the tender was awarded until the work was finished, costing the state exchequer a significant amount of money.
