The Gurgaon police have roped in a battery of chartered accountants to assist them in the multi-crore Citibank fraud case.

Senior police officials said the need to take help from chartered accountants had come because they would be in a better position to analyse the documents seized from Shivraj Puri, the main accused in the Rs300-crore fraud case, and Sanjay Gupta, the chief financial officer of Hero Corporate Services and an accomplice of Gupta.

Police have so far registered two FIRs and received around 40 complaints from high net-worth clients.

Meanwhile, a local court extended the police remand of Puri by two more days till January 14, as police is yet to recover his iPad considered to be a vital evidence.

The anticipatory bail plea of Shivraj Puri’s father, Raghuraj Puri, is likely to come up for hearing tomorrow.
