In a relief for former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, the Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday granted anticipatory bail to him in connection with three cases.

The high court granted anticipatory bail to Naidu, now the Leader of the Opposition, in the Inner Ring Road (IRR) case, the excise policy case and the sand mining case.

In November last year, the high court granted bail to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief in the skill development scam case.

Naidu 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 has denied any wrongdoing and alleged political vendetta over the cases registered against him.
