Amaravati Inner Ring Road Scam Case: AP HC Dismisses Anticipatory Bail Plea By TDP’s Nara Lokesh

Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea by Telugu Desam Party general secretary Nara Lokesh in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road scam case.

The court has also directed police to serve a notice under Section 41A of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

CID officials have registered an FIR against TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu’s son Nara Lokesh in the scam.

The legal team of Nara Lokesh filed an anticipatory bail petition in the Andhra High Court prior to the 41A Notice but the court dismissed the bail petition and instructed Nara Lokesh to cooperate with the CID officials in case.

The 41A notice instructs Nara Lokesh to appear before a police officer for further investigation in the case.

The CID alleged in a memo that Lokesh tried to benefit by changing an order of the inner ring road and also played a key role in the scam.

The CID alleges corrupt activities that were committed by highly placed officials in the Andhra government between 2014 – 2019 regarding the designing of master plan of Andhra Pradesh’s capital city Amaravati and the alignment of Ring Road and arterial roads.

Lokesh was named accused number 14 in the case.
