Skill development scam case: Naidu suffers setback as A.P. High Court dismisses his plea to quash FIR registered by CID

Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu suffered major setbacks on September 22 (Friday) as the Andhra Pradesh High Court struck down his petition for quashing the FIR registered by the CID in the skill development scam case and the consequential remand order of the Vijayawada ACB Court.

Following the High Court decision, the ACB Court permitted the CID to do his (Mr. Naidu) custodial interrogation for two days, i.e. on September 23 and 24, in the Rajamahendravaram Central Prison, where he had been lodged since September 10.

Justice K. Sreenivasa Reddy of the High Court delivered his verdict on Mr. Naidu’s petition, wherein he was convinced that it was not proper on his part to meddle with the investigation at the FIR stage.
