The Andhra Pradesh High Court has granted regular bail to former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu in the scam case. The court made absolute the interim bail granted to Naidu on October 31 on medical grounds. Naidu was earlier directed to report to Rajahmundry Jail on November 28 after the completion of his four-week interim bail.
The court ordered his release on regular bail on the bail bond already furnished by him, relaxing the condition on participating in public rallies and meetings from November 29. Naidu had been arrested on September 9 in connection with the Skill Development scam, which allegedly occurred during his tenure as Chief Minister.
