Naidu’s judicial remand extended till October 5

A local court in Vijayawada extended TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu’s judicial remand in the Skill Development Corporation Scam case till October 5, following the expiry of judicial remand and police custody. The order came after a team of Andhra Pradesh Police CID officials concluded its two-day interrogation of Naidu in the scam case. Special Public Prosecutor Y N Vivekananda, representing the CID, said that the Vijayawada ACB Court has extended Naidu’s judicial remand till October 5, in the wake of the two-day police custody ending. He noted that the CID is likely to file a separate petition seeking Naidu’s custody. Further, the former CM’s bail application and two more CID prisoner transit (PT) warrant petitions are expected to come up for hearing later.
