The Department of Prisons of Andhra Pradesh has decided to tighten the security cover for TDP national president and former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in the wake of concerns by his family members over the possible threat to his life in the Rajahmundry Central Prison, the authorities have said.
Mr. Naidu was shifted to the central prison late on September 10 (Sunday) night after the ACB court in Vijayawada remanded him for 14 days in connection with the alleged skill development corporation scam.
Mr. Naidu told the court that he had a threat to his life in prison, with an appeal seeking ‘home stay’ during the remand period. However, the plea was rejected by the court.
