New Delhi, Feb 21 (IANS) The CBI on Tuesday arrested a former Joint Director of the Enforcement Directorate, J.P. Singh, and three others in a corruption case registered by the agency in September 2015.
Besides Singh, three others arrested, include ED official Sanjay Kumar and two middlemen Vimal Agarwal and Chandresh Patel.
They were arrested from Delhi in a corruption case being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) since September 2015. The case was registered on the directions of the Finance Ministry.
