Even as the arrest of TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu in the alleged skill development corporation scam has triggered a debate over the law taking its course versus political vendetta, the prime task before the Economics Offence Wing (EOW) of the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (AP-CID) is to establish that the former Chief Minister had planned to get the alleged misappropriated funds for himself through shell companies.
It is alleged that Mr. Naidu had misappropriated about ₹371 crore..
According to the remand report and other documents pertaining to the case accessed by The Hindu from the AP-CID, the end-use of the money that was allegedly drawn in cash and parked with the accused including Vikas Vinayak Khanvelkar, Managing Director of Pune-based DesignTech and others are required to be ascertained.
