Subodh Agarwal, a retired IAS officer, was arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in New Delhi on Thursday in connection with a significant corruption case involving the Jal Jeevan Mission in Rajasthan. The ACB Director General of Police, Govind Gupta, announced that Agarwal had been evading arrest for some time following a warrant issued by a court in Jaipur. The investigation revealed that companies Ganpati Tubewells and Shyam Tubewells submitted fraudulent certificates during the tender process, with implicated officials failing to act despite knowledge of the wrongdoing. The ACB has arrested a total of 10 individuals in this case, including senior engineers and contractors. Four more arrests are anticipated, and the ACB has secured standing warrants to attach properties and auction vehicles of the remaining accused. Agarwal, who served as an additional chief secretary in the Public Health and Engineering Department during the alleged scam, will be presented before a court soon.
