The ACB Special Court here is expected to pronounce its order on the CID petition for custodial interrogation of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu for five days in the skill development scam case on September 21.
Judge B.S.V. Himabindu reserved her verdict on September 20 (Wednesday) after hearing arguments made by Additional Advocate General P. Sudhakar Reddy and special public prosecutor Y.N. Vivekananda on behalf of the CID, and senior advocate Siddharth Luthra and Dammalapati Srinivas for Mr. Naidu.
Mr. Sudhakar Reddy insisted that the CID needed to take Mr. Naidu into custody to extract more information from him about the alleged siphoning of huge sums out of the State exchequer through the A.P. State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC).
