Former Andhra Pradesh State Chief N. Chandrababu Naidu was arrested on Saturday morning over an alleged corruption scam involving the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSDC).
The Telugu Desam Party (TDP), the key opposition party in India's Andhra Pradesh, has been pushing for
a statewide shutdown on Monday to protest the arrest of its leader and former state chief Chandrababu Naidu.
Naidu's supporters seek to accentuate their sense of resentment over their leader's arrest. The party has requested citizens and civil society to participate in the protest.
Meanwhile, another regional party, the Jana Sena Party, has also thrown its support behind the Bandh's shutdown appeal.
Why Was Chandrababu Naidu Arrested?
Just months before the state's elections, Naidu was arrested over sums of money amounting to INR 3.71 billion ($44.7 million) in the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation corruption case.
The money meant to upskill or train
unemployed youth in the state was allegedly moved to various shell companies. The
Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation was set up in 2016.
Naidu was sent into judicial custody until September 23.
