ACB issued look out notice. (Awakening)
State Bureau, Ranchi. ACB, which is investigating the liquor scam case in Jharkhand under the Anti-Corruption Act, has issued a look out notice against liquor businessman Naveen Kedia of Chhattisgarh.
Through CBI, a notice has been issued to all the airports that wherever Naveen Kedia is seen, he should be stopped there. If he is in the country, he will not be able to escape out of the country now.
However, there is also information that he has fled out of the country. In case the arrest is not made, the ACB will issue him three legal notices and then seek permission for attachment and seizure of Naveen Kedia's house against him from the special court of ACB, Ranchi.
ACB had caught Naveen Kedia while getting a massage at a spa center in Goa on January 8. He was produced before the Goa court for transit remand, from where he got transit bail for four days. He was directed to appear before the ACB investigator based in Ranchi under any circumstances by the evening of 12th January.
Absconded after leaving Goa
During this transit bail, Naveen Kedia absconded after leaving Goa. When he did not appear before the ACB Ranchi investigator till January 12, a team of ACB officials raided his residence and his liquor factory in Bilaspur, Durg district of Chhattisgarh, but no trace of him was found.
The Goa court had granted him transit bail on the condition that he would not leave the country. He had transit bail till January 12 and he had to appear before the investigator of ACB Ranchi during this period. He has also contempt of court order, which is a serious offence.
This liquor businessman from Chhattisgarh had supplied country liquor to Jharkhand during the earlier excise policy. He is the operator of liquor company Chhattisgarh Distillery.
It is alleged that during the tenure of Vinay Kumar Choubey, former Principal Secretary of the Excise and Prohibition Department, he supplied country liquor in Jharkhand without any fear. The country liquor he supplied was of low quality. Glass particles were found in the said liquor.
ACB insists on arrest, not chargesheet
Within the recent one year, ACB laid a lot of emphasis on arrests in the liquor scam case. There were rapid arrests. After the arrest, the accused remained in jail for 90 days, but the ACB did not chargesheet them. The effect of this was that everyone started getting default bail.
One by one all the accused went out of jail. Those arrested in the past got default bail due to lack of charge sheet. Now ACB is continuously trying to arrest liquor businessman Naveen Kedia.
