Meanwhile, a senior official from Prayagraj police told PTI that the Bengaluru Police did not inform them about the arrest of Nisha Singhania and Anurag Singhania.
Nikita along with her family members had filed anticipatory bail pleas in the Allahabad High Court. The pleas came after the Bengaluru Police on Friday issued a summons to Nikita Singhania and asked her to appear before it within three days.
