The anti-corruption bureau of the Central Bureau of Investigation has arrested Colonel Anil Kumar Singh in the recruitment graft case at the National Defence Academy (NDA).

He was the Chairman of the Board of Examinations and is the second officer to be arrested after Colonel Kulbir Singh, who is already in custody in the cash-for-jobs scam.

The arrest came after his anticipatory bail was cancelled by the CBI special court. Earlier the CBI told the court that the main accused had said that he had handed over Rs 52 lakh in cash to Colonel Anil Singh as bribe money.
