The game of hide and seek is over, a scam of more than Rs 400 crore and a masterstroke by ACB:

News India Live, Digital Desk: When big corruption games begin, its players often make long-range plans. They feel that the hands of law will not reach them as soon as they cross the state borders. But in the case of ‘liquor scam’ of Jharkhand, this assumption has been proved wrong. Long absconding and one of the main accused in the scam Naveen Kedia (Naveen Kedia) has finally been arrested by the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB).

And the most interesting thing is that this arrest did not happen from a bungalow in Ranchi, but while he was hiding on the beach of Goa.

After all, what is the role of Naveen Kedia?
Today is January 8, 2026 and for some time now there has been a lot of noise in the politics of Jharkhand regarding this liquor scam. Naveen Kedia is accused of huge manipulation in the liquor business by ignoring the rules and regulations. In this, not only the issue of tax evasion is coming to light, but there is also a serious case of defrauding the government of revenue worth crores of rupees by forming a syndicate. According to the investigating agencies, Kedia was an important part of this entire ‘system’.

Goa’s location and ACB’s pursuit
Whenever an accused runs away to save himself, a place like Goa seems safe for him to hide. Naveen Kedia was also celebrating ‘holidays’ somewhere away from the radar of police and ACB or perhaps waiting for calm. But the ACB team was keeping an eye on his every location. An intelligence input was received and ACB raided there and arrested them. Now he is being brought back to Jharkhand, where he will be intensively interrogated.

Will the secrets of big white collar people be revealed now?
Naveen Kedia’s arrest is not just the capture of one man. His capture means the opening of files in which the names of many influential people may be buried. There are speculations that not only businessmen but also some ‘big people’ of the department are involved in the scam. People say that Kedia can now reveal many such things during interrogation, which will create another storm in the political circles of Ranchi.
