Singhvi, the former principal secretary (mines) in Rajasthan, surrendered before the special ED court in the matter related to a mining scam which was unearthed by Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau in 2015. Later, the ED had initiated an investigation against Singhvi and other accused involved in the scam. The court had issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Singhvi in January last year, which was challenged in the High Court. The High Court upheld the special court’s order, following which Singhvi has now surrendered.
