Ex-Minister Nageswara Rao Arrested in AP Liquor Transport Scam

The Enforcement Directorate arrested former minister Karumuri Nageswara Rao.

Officials took him to a hospital for a medical check-up.

The arrest is connected to a case about transporting liquor in Andhra Pradesh.

Investigators say some transportation contracts may have been unfairly awarded.

They also allege that Rao received money from liquor traders.

The government reportedly paid more for transportation than the usual rate.

Rao’s son and other former officials were previously arrested in the case.

These are allegations being investigated by the agency, not proven facts.
