Andhra CID Seeks Further Custody Of TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu In Skill Development Corporation Scam

In the case related to Skill Development Corporation fraud, the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (CID) requested in a new petition on Monday seeking an additional five days of custody of TDP leader N Chandrababu Naidu.

According to Y N Vivekananda, Special Public Prosecutor for the CID police informed that the second custody petition was filed since Mr. Naidu allegedly “did not” cooperate during the two-day interrogation in the Rajamahendravaram central prison.

“Today, initially the court took up the hearing of Naidu’s bail application. At that stage the CID filed a petition seeking his custody for the second time,” said Mr Vivekananda, adding that the petition is yet to be numbered.

Two more CID prisoner transit (PT) petitions in the AP FiberNet and Amaravati Inner Ring Road cases are also expected to come up for hearing in the court later today.

Senior attorney Pramod Dubey defended the former chief minister.

On Sunday night, after Mr. Naidu’s two days in police custody came to a close, the court extended his judicial remand until October 5.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief’s FIR quash petition was denied by the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday, which prompted Mr. Naidu to appeal to the Supreme Court.

On September 9, Mr. Naidu was detained for allegedly misappropriating funds from the Skill Development Corporation, which is said to have cost the state exchequer more than 300 crore.
