Jalandhar, May 31 -- The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Mahesh Makhija, a close aide of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Raman Arora, late Friday night in connection with a corruption case.

Makhija was apprehended from a relative's factory in Phagwara and produced before a local court at 10:10 PM.

After a heated debate between the counsels, the Vigilance Bureau sought a seven-day remand, but the court granted a four-day custodial remand for Makhija.

Following his arrest, the Vigilance team searched Makhija's residence, recovering several crucial documents, according to sources.

The bureau argued in court that interrogating Makhija could yield vital clues regarding properties and other illicit activities linked to the case.
