The Andhra Pradesh High Court also sent Chandrababu Naidu to the custody of the state police's Crime Investigation Department for two days.
The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Friday dismissed N Chandrababu Naidu's petition to quash his arrest and remand in connection with an alleged Rs 371 crore scam. The court also sent Mr Naidu to the custody of the state police's Crime Investigation Department for two days. The Telugu Desam Party chief was arrested earlier this month and sent to judicial custody for a 14-day period.
The CID has named him as the "principal conspirator" and "accused number 1" in a multi-crore scam involving the state's skill development corporation. He was earlier listed as "accused number 37".
The police case against the TDP boss has roiled Andhra Pradesh politics - there have been clashes as party workers protest his arrest - have with just months to go for national and Assembly elections.
