The arrest follows the issuance of a warrant against Singhania by the ACB a few days ago. Earlier, the agency had secured a warrant against Vinay Kumar Singh, the owner of Nexgen and a close associate of suspended IAS officer Vinay Kumar Chaubey.

The ACB’s crackdown in the liquor scam case has intensified in recent weeks. On Tuesday, the ACB arrested former Excise Commissioner Amit Prakash and questioned him at its headquarters in Ranchi.
