With the remand period completing on Friday for the former Chief Minister, the authorities concerned produced him before the ACB Court judge through virtual mode from Rajahmundry jail on Friday.
The judge was understood to have enquired Mr. Naidu about the facilities in the jail. The hearing on the five-day police custody of Mr. Naidu, which was petitioned by the A.P. CID for further investigation in the case, is still on and a decision is expected later on Friday. The quash petition filed by Mr. Naidu is also still pending in the Andhra Pradesh High Court. It is learnt that the remand has been extended, as the quash petition was still pending. A decision on the quash petition is also expected later on Friday.
