Former Chief Minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu’s petition for house arrest has been posted by the ACB court here to September 12 (Tuesday) for further hearing after intense day-long arguments, which mainly included Additional Advocate General (AAG) P. Sudhakar Reddy’s assertion that the accused might influence the witnesses if his plea was conceded.
The AAG argued on behalf of the CID while senior advocate Sidharth Luthra represented Mr. Naidu, who was sent to 14 days’ judicial remand on September 10 (Sunday) for allegedly playing a key role in what came to be known as the skill development scam.
