Ranchi: The Jharkhand high court on Tuesday rejected the bail application filed by Chhattisgarh-based liquor trader Naveen Kedia, who was arrested by the Anti-Corruption bureau (ACB) of the state from Goa on January 8 this year for his involvement in the liquor scam running into more than Rs 700 crores involving senior IAS officer Vinay Kumar Choubey. Kedia was directed by the court in Goa to appear before the investigating officer of the ACB in Ranchi on January 12 while granting him transit bail. Kedia, in spite of being released on conditional bail, did not appear before the investigating officer of the ACB and neither did he move any application before the court in Ranchi for confirming his bail granted in Goa
