TDP stages protests over arrest warrant against Chandrababu Naidu

Protests have erupted across Andhra Pradesh after an arrest warrant was issued against chief minister Chandrababu Naidu and others in connection with a case dating back to July 2010. Telugu Desam Party (TDP) alleges a conspiracy to target Naidu after he exited the NDA government.

Naidu, who was arrested eight years ago on the charges of leading a violent protest, intimidation and obstruction of public servants from discharging their duties, received the non-bailable warrant on Thursday night from the Maharashtra police, while he was participating in Bramhotsvams in the temple of town of Tirupati.
