Former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu Questioned by Police in Jail Over Alleged Scandal

CID officials began questioning former Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu in jail over skill development corporation scandal allegations.
A team of 9 senior CID officials led interrogation of 73-year-old Naidu at Rajahmundry jail conference hall.
Naidu's lawyer was present during questioning, with court orders not to subject Naidu to third degree methods.
For politician Naidu, being jailed and questioned by police he once commanded is an ironic new experience.
Whether allegations are proved or not, Naidu's brief jail time shows politicians eventually pay for acts of omission and commission.
