Reports suggest that Chandrababu Naidu is showing reluctance to cooperate with the investigative authorities by evading numerous questions.
When presented with certain pieces of evidence related to the skill development scam, he maintained a stoic demeanor.
In response to inquiries concerning a WhatsApp conversation with his personal secretary, Pendyala Srinivas, his replies have been vague, often stating, "I don't know; I don't remember."
This situation brings to mind a famous dialogue of Jr NTR from the movie "Adurs," which goes, "Theleedu - Gurtuledu - Marchipoyaa!"
As per sources, Chandrababu Naidu allegedly appeared shocked when confronted with note files from his tenure that pertained to directives given to the Chief Secretary for releasing funds concerning the Siemens collaboration for skill development activities.
Furthermore, it has been reported that Chandrababu Naidu responded with irrelevant remarks, even displaying frustration towards the police and authorities.
He seemingly raised his voice, asserting that he knows how to handle the police once he returns to power.
Observers say that he may be awaiting legal support before providing any substantial responses to the questions posed, and so passing time either with selective amnesia or showing anger.
In a swift turn of events, prominent advocate Siddharth Luthra was reported to have flown from Delhi to Vijaywada on a special flight to represent Chandrababu Naidu in this case.
There are indications that Mr. Luthra is highly regarded and may command a huge fee for his services, with a strong track record of success.
Currently, Mr. Luthra is diligently working to secure Chandrababu Naidu's release without the need for remand.
