This is the third arrest in the case in three days.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested a Hyderabad-based chartered accountant, understood to be the auditor of BRS MLC K Kavitha.
Other accused named in the case are– Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia, the then excise commissioner Arva Gopi Krishna, deputy commissioner Anand Tiwari and assistant commissioner Pankaj Bhatnagar.
