The court in Andhra Pradesh's Vijayawada rejected arguments from Mr Naidu's legal team and his wife, who spoke of her "worry for his safety inside jail"
An anti-corruption court cited "security" as it rejected a house custody plea for jailed ex-Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, who will now spend the rest of his two-week remand period in jail, unless he gets relief in the form of bail. On Tuesday Mr Naidu had been sent to judicial custody after he was arrested in connection with an alleged multi-crore scam.
The court in Andhra Pradesh's Vijayawada rejected arguments from Mr Naidu's legal team and his wife, who spoke of her "worry for his safety inside jail". "I did not see any special arrangements made for him," she told reporters after the court refused to quash Mr Naidu's remand order.
