The anticipatory bail petitions of former chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu in three corruption cases were dismissed by the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Monday. The TDP leader and former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu’s bail requests in the Inner Ring Road, Fiber Net, and Angallu 307 cases were denied by the Andhra Pradesh High Court, according to attorney Krishna Murthy. The Vijayawada Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) court previously postponed making a decision on Chandrababu Naidu’s bail request. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Chief’s detention in the alleged multi-million dollar skill development scam case was extended by the ACB court on Thursday until October 19.
Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP chief was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) last month in connection with the alleged multi-crore skill development scam case, leading to political turmoil in the state with several TDP leaders alleging that the arrest was nothing but a political “witch-hunt” and that Naidu was held on the basis of false allegations.
Meanwhile, Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department chief N Sanjay said that Chandrababu Naidu was the prime conspirator in the AP Skill development scam adding that Naidu in his capacity had orchestrated the whole idea of corruption during his tenure as Chief Minister.
