FollowA case has been registered against former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister and TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu, just hours after a former minister of his party, Dr Ponguru Narayana was arrested over the alleged leaking of class 10 papers. The first information report against Naidu claims irregularities in the alignment of the Inner Ring Road in Amaravati.

The FIR also includes the names of former TDP minister and Narayana Group of Institutions chairman Dr Ponguru Narayana, Lingamaneni Ramesh, Lingamaneni Venkata Suryarajasekhar, EPL Projects, Ramakrishna Housing Pvt Ltd director Anjani Kumar and Heritage Foods.
The complaint lodged by MLA All Rama Krishna Reddy alleges that certain illegal and corrupt activities were committed by highly-placed government officials between 2014 to 2019 with regard to designing the master plan for the Andhra Pradesh capital city and alignment of the Inner Ring Road and its connected arterial roads.
The FIR further alleged that the corruption was aimed at ensuring 'wrongful gain' to certain chosen persons and entities connected with the decision making authorities and causing corresponding wrongful loss to the general public and the public exchequer thus amounting to cheating.
