The Supreme Court on Monday heard the bail cancellation petition filed by the APCID in the skill development case to former chief minister and TDP chief N Chandrababu Naidu. The counsel for the CID alleged that Chandrababu Naidu and his family members were tying to influence the witnesses in the case.
CID counsel Mukul Rohatgi told the Supreme Court that Chandrababu Naidu was trying to contact the other witnesses in the case and was trying to influence them. As he is an influential person, Chandrababu Naidu has the sources to reach out to the witnesses, the counsel said.
The AP CID challenged the high court decision in the Supreme Court. The CID said that Chandrababu Naidu, being senior politician will influence the witnesses in the case. Having served as the chief minister of the state for several years, Chandrababu Naidu has the potential to influence the witnesses and the accused as well, the CID alleged.
The Supreme Court heard the case on Monday and directed Chandrababu Naidu to file affidavits in the next two weeks. The court asked Naidu to file his version to the case.
The court then posted the case for next hearing after three weeks. The CID was disappointed with the Supreme Court’s decision of posting the case for three weeks and also seeking Chandrababu Naidu to file his version.
The AP high court had granted the bail to Chandrababu Naidu after he was in the Rajamahendravaram Central Jail for 53 days. The court gave him bail with two sureties submitted before the jail superintendent.
