Andhra Pradesh witnessed a tense drama that was unprecedented in a long time, following the arrest of Telugu Desam Party national president N. Chandrababu Naidu by the CID at Nandyal in the early hours of Saturday for his alleged complicity in a multi-crore ‘Skill development scam’.
Mr. Naidu was to be produced before the III Additional District and Sessions Judge-cum-Judge, ACB Court Judge B.S.V. Himabindu, but he was being questioned by the CID, which was going on for more than seven hours and continued further into late night despite frantic efforts by his lawyers to have him presented before the judge as per norms.
Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra was spearheading Mr. Naidu’s bid to come out on bail, but a breakthrough eluded him and his battery of lawyers at the time of filing this report.
