SC Shields Naidu from Arrest in FibreNet Case Pending Skill Development Scam Verdict

Hyderabad: The Supreme Court instructed the Andhra Pradesh Police on Friday not to arrest N. Chandrababu Naidu, the TDP chief, in the FibreNet case until a verdict is reached in the Skill Development scam case. Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, representing Naidu, highlighted the police's intent to take him into custody in the FibreNet case despite his ongoing custody in the Skill Development scam case. Senior advocate Ranjit Kumar, appearing for the Andhra Pradesh government, confirmed that they would seek court permission for Naidu's custodial interrogation in the FibreNet case, considering his current judicial custody in another case. On October 13, the Andhra Pradesh Police assured the Supreme Court that they wouldn't arrest Naidu in the FiberNet case until October 18, due to his pending petition related to the Skill Development Corporation scam.
