After his arrest, the CBI claimed to have recovered 31 gold bars, weighing 3.20 kg and worth over Rs 82 lakh, from one of the five lockers of Singh.
Sources claimed that the recoveries made from his residence showed that he was living a chic lifestyle as the agency found 300 bottles of high-end liquor brands and expensive watches.
CBI had claimed that so far, documents related to eight properties in posh areas such as Safdarjung Enclave here, Sector 56 in Gurgaon, Sector 44 and Sector 50 of Noida and high-end construction in Greater Noida worth around Rs 20 crore, have also been recovered besides fixed deposit receipts of over Rs one crore.
