Telugu Desam Party leader Chandrababu Naidu was arrested in Nandyala town for his alleged involvement in the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation scam. He faces charges under IPC sections and the Prevention of Corruption Act. Several TDP leaders were also placed under house arrest.
The Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corruption Case involves a ₹3,300 crore scam within the Andhra Pradesh Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC), established in 2016.
The investigation revealed irregularities such as a lack of proper tendering, unauthorized project initiation, fund diversion to shell companies, and misuse of public funds.
Former Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu is implicated as the main conspirator behind the misappropriation, resulting in losses to the public treasury and private gains. Key documents related to the case have gone missing, and further examination is needed.
