It is pertinent to mention here that one Rajeev Kumar, an advocate of Jharkhand, has been arrested in connection with the case. Kumar was nabbed while allegedly receiving Rs 50 lakh from a Kolkata-based businessman against whom he had filed a PIL in Ranchi High Court. He had demanded Rs 10 crore to withdraw the PIL and settled at Rs 1 crore for which the first installment of Rs 50 lakh was paid, as per the Kolkata police source.
