SDC Scam: Vijayawada ACB Court Extends N Chandrababu Naidu’s Remand Till Oct 19

Vijayawada ACB court on Thursday extended Telugu Desam Party Chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s remand in the alleged multi-crore skill development scam case till October 19.

Pramod Kumar Dubey, advocate of Chandrababu Naidu stated, “Inquiry on Chandrababu’s custody and bail petitions is adjourned till tomorrow. ACB Court Judge said that she would hear the arguments of both sides tomorrow.”

Meanwhile, the judge has extended judicial remand till the 19th of this month.

Previously, the former Andhra Pradesh chief minister and TDP chief was arrested by the CID on September 9 in connection with the multi-crore skill development scam case, leading to apolitical 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.

From candle marches to rallies, TDP workers have been demanding Chandrababu Naidu’s release by venting their outrage across the country.

Earlier, Chandrababu’s wife Bhuvaneshwari offered special prayers at St. Paul’s Lutheran church at Jampet, Rajahmundry for the release of the TDP chief.

People also gathered inside the church with banners in their hands, condemning the arrest of Naidu.

Earlier on Monday, TDP National General Secretary Nara Lokesh and party supporters on staged a hunger strike at Lodhi Estate in Delhi against the arrest of the TDP Chief and former AP Chief Minister.

The party workers held ‘I am with CBN’ posters demanding the release of Former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu.

A parallel protest was also stage by Naidu’s wife Nara Bhuvaneshwari who joined party workers on a hunger strike at Rajamahendravaram in East Godavari district against Naidu’s arrest.

Previously on Tuesday, the Supreme Court gave no interim relief to Telugu Desam Party chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case.
