The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday granted anticipatory bail to former chief minister and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) Chief Chandrababu Naidu in three cases, as per media reports. The three cases reportedly include the Inner Ring Road (IRR) case, the excise policy case, and the sand mining case.

Before this, he was granted bail by the high court in the skill development scam case back in November last year.

About the skill development case

The former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh was arrested by the state Crime Investigation Department (CID) in connection with the skill development case on September 9 last year. He was lodged in Rajahmundry Central Jail from September 10 to October 31.

The case pertains to the alleged misappropriation of funds from the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC), leading to a loss of over Rs 300 crore to the state government.

Naidu maintained that he has never been associated with any wrongdoing and alleged political vendetta over the cases registered against him.
