Yes, it is true. Senior Supreme Court lawyer and former Additional Solicitor General of India, K.K. Venugopal, arrived in Hyderabad on a special flight on Saturday to deal with the arrest of former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu in the skill development scam case.

Venugopal is representing Naidu in the case. He is expected to file a bail application in the High Court of Andhra Pradesh on Sunday.

The 73-year-old Naidu was arrested by the Andhra Pradesh Crime Investigation Department (CID) on Saturday morning in connection with the scam, which allegedly involves the diversion of Rs 371 crore of public funds. He was taken to Vijayawada for questioning and later remanded to judicial custody.

Naidu has denied any wrongdoing and has accused the ruling YSR Congress Party of political vendetta.

Venugopal is a highly respected lawyer who has a long history of representing high-profile clients. He is also the current chairman of the Bar Council of India.

His arrival in Hyderabad is a significant development in the Naidu case and is likely to give a boost to the former Chief Minister's legal team.
