The investigating agency has earlier arrested three accused, including Nageshwar Rao’s son Karumuri Sunil Kumar, Andhra Pradesh State Beverages Corporation Limited (APSBCL) former managing director Dontireddy Vasudev Reddy and Raj KC Reddy.
After Sunil’s arrest in June, the ED told a special PMLA court that, as the minister’s son, he obtained subcontracts for transporting liquor for his associates.

The accused are accused of causing a loss of ₹195.33 crore to the state exchequer by committing financial irregularities in the transport of liquor in the state.
