CBI sources told PTI that in the petition, it prayed that since the person was hospitalised he was not able for a physical production.
The agency made a "paper production" of Majumdar before an Alipore Court judge here who rejected police custody and granted "deemed judicial custody" till he became fit.
Majumdar, a former IPS officer with the West Bengal police, was arrested by the CBI yesterday after interrogation to probe his role in the scam as he was the proclaimed security consultant of Saradha Group.
