Telugu Desam Party (TDP) workers on Tuesday held a protest in front of the party office in Vishakapatnam against the arrest of the former Chief Minister and party chief Chandrababu Naidu in the alleged Skill development scam case.
Protestors were raising slogans against the arrest of the Chandrababu Nadu. Later police arrived at the spot to detain the supporters and they were taken to the nearest local police station. Earlier today the legal cell of the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) filed a petition in Andhra Pradesh High Court challenging the arrest of party supremo former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu by the CID. In its petition, the TDP's legal cell questioned the applicability of Section 409 by the CID in the FIR. Andhra Pradesh High Court accepted the petition challenging Naidu's arrest while directing the state government to file its response to the plea through an affidavit. The hearing on the petition filed by the TDP's legal cell has been scheduled for September 13. The party, on September 11, said the CID was acting as a private army to take revenge on the Opposition parties and raised all irrelevant issues in the remand report filed before the ACB court against Naidu. Naidu was arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) on Saturday in connection to an alleged corruption case. He was later sent to judicial custody on Sunday for 14 days, till September 23 by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) court in Vijayawada in connection with the alleged Skill Development Corporation scam.
