Home-cooked food, medication for Chandrababu Naidu in Rajamahendravaram jail

According to the detention order, the Judge highlighted that there are grounds to believe the accusations levelled against Naidu, and 24 hours were not enough to complete the investigation.

Home-cooked food, medication, and a special room were among the amenities granted by a court to TDP chief N. Chandrababu Naidu for his fortnight-long stay in jail.

An ACB Court here directed the superintendent of Rajamahendravaram central prison to accommodate 73-year-old Naidu separately in view of the purported threat to his life. The former CM is a Z-plus category security protectee.

"The superintendent of central prison is directed to provide all the special amenities including food (cooked at home), medication, special room in central prison to petitioner/A37 (Naidu)," the Judge ordered.
