All 2,064 prisoners, including former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, are safe in Rajahmundry Central Prison, asserts DIG

Deputy Inspector General (Prisons), Coastal Andhra Pradesh, M.R. Ravi Kiran, on September 21 (Thursday) said that the Rajahmundry Central Prison “is safe for all the 2,064 prisoners, including former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu, who is lodged in the prison on judicial remand.”

Mr. Naidu’s 14-day remand in the A.P. Skill Development scam case will be over on September 24.

Mr. Ravi Kiran was responding to the concerns expressed by Mr. Naidu’s son and TDP national general secretary Lokesh over his father’s healthcare in the prison following the death of an undertrial prisoner, identified as G.V.V. Satyanarayana, due to dengue while undergoing treatment in GGH-Kakinada, on September 19.
