Ranchi: Three persons arrested in connection with the liquor scam were produced before the Special ACB Court in Ranchi on Thursday amid tight security. The court ordered their remand to judicial custody.
The accused include Sudhir Kumar Das, the former Finance Head of Jharkhand State Beverages Corporation Limited (JSBCL); Sudhir Kumar, the current General Manager of JSBCL; and Neeraj Kumar Singh, an employee of a manpower supply company linked to the case.
All three were arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday evening as part of the ongoing probe into the multi-crore liquor scam.
Their arrests followed the earlier detainment of senior IAS officer Vinay Chaubey and former Joint Excise Commissioner Gajendra Singh, who were taken into ACB custody on Tuesday.
The investigation into the alleged scam continues, with more officials expected to be questioned or arrested in the coming days.
