Chandrababu Given Bail On Health Grounds Not Case Merits!

Telugu Desam Party chief Chandrababu Naidu was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (AP-CID) in connection with the AP Skill Development scam in September. The investigating agency alleged that funds worth Rs 371 crore were misappropriated. After the arrest, he was sent to the Rajahmundry Central Jail for remand.

It's been more than 50 days since he was sent to the remand. Since his arrest, the party has been exploring all the legal options to see him out of jail. Famous lawyers were also roped in to represent him. But all of these efforts failed to get relief to Chandrababu Naidu.

On the other hand, the TDP Leaders and pro-media have been talking extensively about his health and the alleged threats he has. Nara Lokesh even took to social media to level serious allegations.

At regular intervals, they started claiming that Chandrababu Naidu has many health issues. No matter how strongly they tried, they failed to get sympathy for the TDP boss from the people and bail from the courts.

In a big development, the former Chief Minister was given bail in the AP Skill Development Scam. However, the bail was not given on merits grounds but on health grounds. Hearing a petition, the High Court gave interim bail to Chandrababu on the health grounds.

This is the first time Chandrababu was arrested in his career. The ex-CM is often dubbed as someone who can manage the systems to stay out of trouble. But it looks like he failed this time and completed 50 days in prison.

However, there are a few conditions imposed on his bail. The conditions are as follows.

1.Chandrababu Naidu should not participate in any activities that are related to politics like events, meetings, and others.

2.He should not influence the witnesses in the case.

3.He was given bail in the case on health grounds and not on merit. The reason for the bail is for treatment. So he should be confined to his house and hospital where he will undergo treatment.

4.The Government requested the Court that two DSPs should be with Chandrababu as escort. In response, the Court issued directives to file a counter on this.

5.It is known that Chandrababu has security cover and the Union government gave him Z+ security Cover. The Court said that the security should be given following the rules and regulations of the Centre and the Court will not interfere in it.
