Mr Diwakar, posted as Chief Executive Officer of Zila Parishad of Banswara, was arrested on Tuesday night in the case after initial interrogation, Additional SP ACB Bajrang Singh said.

The bureau had also summoned retired IAS officer G.S. Sandhi in the case, but he did not turn up despite being served with repeated notices.
ACB had registered a case in last December on a complaint which alleged that officers of Jaipur Development Authority, urban development and housing department had transferred a society deed of a land to a private builder flouting norms in 2011. During the probe, the name of Mr Sandhu, who was additional chief secretary (UDH) at that time, surfaced after which the Bureau issued notices to him but he did not turn up, the officer said. PTI
