Amaravati: The Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (APCID) arrested two persons in New Delhi on Wednesday in connection with the AP State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) scam that allegedly took place in the previous Telugu Desam Party government led by Chandrababu Naidu.
The accused CA VipinKumar Sharma and his wife Neelam Sharma were taken to Vijayawada on a transit warrant and produced in the court which remanded them into judicial custody till September 7. The crime dates back to 2014 when the APSSDC had entered into a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with SIEMENS for imparting hi-end technology training.
The company offered training programs in collaboration with vari- ous state governments for the unemployed youth. The CID alleged that former managing director of APSSDC Ghanta Subba Rao, former director Dr. K Lakshmi Narayana, and other officials along with some private companies flouted rules and caused loss to the State exchequer.
