The YSRCP government in Andhra Pradesh has been tightening the noose around TDP chief and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in the Amaravati land scam. The Crime Investigation Department of CID has issued notices to Naidu for alleged capital land irregularities. The CID officers reached Chandrababu’s residence in Hyderabad and served notices.
CID chief Sunil Kumar said notices had been issued under 41A CRPC and was asked to attend for an investigation on 23March. Apart from Naidu, eight others in the case have been reportedly named in the notices. The CID has already registered a First Information Report (FIR) under Section 120 B (conspiracy) and Sections 166, 167 and 217 of the IPC, read with Prohibition of Assigned Lands Alienation Act of 1977 and the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.
The development assumes significance in the backdrop of YSRCP making a clean sweep in the AP municipal polls.
