Ranchi: Jharkhand IAS officer Chhavi Ranjan was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Thursday after a day-long grilling in connection with his involvement in alleged illegal land deals, an official said.
The 2011-batch officer of Jharkhand cadre has been taken into ED custody, he said.
Ranjan, currently serving as director of the state's Social Welfare Department, had reached the office of the probe agency around 10.45 am.
The ED had on April 24, too, questioned Ranjan for about 10 hours in connection with its money laundering investigation into alleged illegal land deals.
This is the second case in which a Jharkhand-cadre IAS officer has come under the ED scanner. Last year, it had arrested IAS officer Pooja Singhal in a money laundering case.(PTI)
