Anti-Corruption Court Orders Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu, to Jail
Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh – In a major setback for former Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, the anti-corruption court in Vijayawada has dismissed his bail petition and ordered him to be remanded in judicial custody for a period of 14 days. Naidu, who is facing corruption charges, will be lodged in Rajahmundry Jail until the 22nd of this month.
The court’s decision came after extensive hearings and consideration of the evidence presented by the prosecution. Naidu had filed the petition seeking bail following his arrest in connection with a corruption case earlier this week.
However, there are two petitions filed on behalf of Naidu that are waiting to be heard. One petition cites his physical condition, while the other claims that he is currently staying at home. It remains to be seen how the court will address these petitions in the coming days.
With the preliminary bail plea dismissed, it appears inevitable that Naidu will have to serve his judicial custody. This news has brought joy to some, including Andhra Pradesh Tourism Minister, Roja.
In a surprising development, Roja expressed her happiness by bursting firecrackers and distributing sweets to Chandrababu Naidu along with YSR Congress party workers. Roja’s actions have stirred controversy, as some argue that celebrating a person’s imprisonment is unbecoming of a public figure.
The case against Naidu revolves around alleged corruption and misuse of power during his tenure as Chief Minister. The Anti-Corruption Bureau has conducted extensive investigations and gathered substantial evidence against him. Naidu has consistently denied these allegations and maintained his innocence throughout the legal proceedings.
Now, with the court’s decision to remand him in custody, it remains to be seen how this high-profile corruption case will unfold. As Naidu prepares to spend his days in Rajahmundry Jail, the petitions filed on his behalf may shed new light on the situation. However, for now, the anti-corruption court’s ruling stands, and Naidu’s fate awaits the final judgment.
