The Supreme Court today issued notice to former chief minister Chandrababu Naidu in Emaar-APIIC land scam case. The court asked Naidu to show reasons on why he should not be investigated in the scam. Taking up for hearing a petition filed by one Mr Bheemreddy Yella Reddy seeking a direction to the CBI to investigate the role of Chandrababu Naidu in the scam, the apex court also issued notices to the CBI and the state and central governments.
Incidentally, on Sunday, YSR congress party leader Ambati Rambabu said he had requested the CBI to investigate the role of Naidu in the Emaar scam. The CBI had recorded his statement on Sunday on the Emaar scam that took place during his regime as the APIIC chairman. It may be recalled that YSR Congress party leaders have been regularly alleging that seeds were sown in the regime of Chandrababu Naidu for the APIIC-Emaar land scam and demanding Naidu’s role also must be investigated.
