why chandrababu jailed

Nara Chandrababu Naidu, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, was jailed in connection with a Rs 371 crore corruption scam involving the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC). He is accused of orchestrating the misuse of funds meant to train unemployed youth in the state through this project. The police allege he was the prime conspirator and beneficiary of the scam, which involved the diversion of government funds to private entities through fake invoices and shell companies. Naidu was remanded to 14 days of judicial custody after being arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (CID). The case includes charges under various IPC sections such as criminal conspiracy, cheating, and forgery, along with the Prevention of Corruption Act. Despite the serious allegations, Naidu has claimed he was falsely implicated for political reasons and that legal procedures, like obtaining sanction to investigate him as a then-Chief Minister, were violated. The scam case revolves around funds released for establishing centers of excellence and skill development programs in Andhra Pradesh, which reportedly did not benefit the intended causes but were siphoned off instead. This arrest has been a significant political event, with Naidu and his party alleging political vendetta by the ruling government.
