AP High Court Grants Anticipatory Bail To Chandrababu Naidu In Amaravati Inner Ring Road Case

TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu has been granted bail in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road case.

The court that heard the argument on the anticipatory bail petition filed by him granted temporary bail and issued an interim order not to arrest till 16th October in the case, according to ANI.

The court also instructed CID to not make any arrest till tomorrow in the Angallu 307 case.

High Court stayed PT warrant on Inner Ring Road petition filed by CID Vijayawada ACB court.

Naidu had moved the court seeking regular bail petitions in the Amaravati Inner Ring Road and Angallu attack cases and an anticipatory bail petition in the FiberNet case.

The Amaravati Inner Ring Road case pertains to "manipulating" the master plan of Amaravati capital city, alignment of the inner ring road and the seed capital to allegedly offer undue enrichment to several companies during Naidu's regime.

The Angallu case is connected to the riots which took place during a political rally taken out by the TDP chief in August.

The FiberNet case relates to the alleged tender manipulation in allotting a work order under Phase-1 of the AP FiberNet Project of Rs 330 crore to a favoured company.

The Crime Investigation Department alleged that irregularities took place from the allotting of the tender to completion of the total project, causing a huge loss to the state exchequer.

Currently, Naidu is under judicial remand in the Rajamahendravaram central prison for allegedly misappropriating funds from the Skill Development Corporation, which resulted in a purported loss of over Rs 300 crore to the state exchequer.
