The Crime Investigation Department (CID) continued questioning former Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu in the Skill Development Corporation scam case.
The CID officials were questioning Naidu in Rajahmundry Central Prison where he is currently lodged. A team of 12 CID officials is trying to collect more information from Naidu about the alleged scam which took place when he was the chief minister. Before the commencement of the questioning for the second day, Naidu was medically examined. The questioning was on in the conference hall in the presence of Naiduās lawyer D. Srinivas. Vijayawada ACB Court had Friday granted the CID two-day custody of Naidu. The CID has been allowed to question Naidu from 9.30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the presence of Naiduās lawyer with a lunch break for one hour. The court directed that photographs and videos of the questioning should not be released. Naidu was questioned for about six hours on the first day. He was medically examined before and after the questioning. The CID had sought the custody of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief for five days but the court allowed the custody only for two days. The judge directed that after the end of the two-day custody, Naidu should be produced before the court through video-conference.
