"He is not in custody," a spokesperson of the auditing firm said, reacting to reports that its representative Gopal Krishnan was being questioned by the police in connection with the Rs 7,800 crore fraud disclosed by Satyam's founder Ramalinga Raju.
Raju and his brother Rama Raju are already in police custody and Satyam CFO Vadlamani Srinivas too has been arrested.
