Nara Lokesh, Narayana seek anticipatory bail in Amaravati IRR alignment scam case

AMARAVATI: Even as the questioning of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) general secretary Nara Lokesh by the Andhra Pradesh CID is slated for October 4, he filed two lunch motion petitions in the High Court on Tuesday seeking anticipatory bail in the case. The court will hear the anticipatory bail petition on Tuesday after lunch.

On Tuesday, accused number two, P Narayana filed four petitions including a quash petition and an anticipatory bail petition in the IRR alignment case. The Court posted the hearing on the petitions on October 16, giving breathing time for the former Municipal Minister for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court refused to interfere in the issuance of bail by the Andhra Pradesh High Court to the TDP leaders Devineni Umamheswara Rao , Pulivarti Nani, and Nallari Kishore in the Angallu, Punganuru clashes case.

The Andhra Pradesh Government on Tuesday sought quashing of the bail given by the High Court to the three leaders in the attempt to murder case in the Angallu incident. The counsel for the State Government argued that several police were hurt in the clashes instigated by the TDP and one officer lost his sight during the clashes. However, the Apex court rejecting their plea said that it would not interfere with the decision taken by the lower court.
