Agarwal, co-founder of Micromax Technologies Pvt Ltd, his associate Manish Tuli, four North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) engineers Rajesh Wadhwa, M K Gupta, Satish Kumar and Naresh Kumar, and Delhi Development Authority's (DDA) junior engineer Rajesh Gupta were sent to CBI custody.
Special CBI Judge Poonam Bamba, however, remanded NDMC's engineer Sanjay Kumar and private person Ashok Lamba, who were also arrested in the case, in judicial custody till August 27.
NDMC's Superintendent Engineer Rajesh Wadhwa and Assistant Engineer M K Gupta, both of whom were arrested yesterday from a hotel in Jaipur where they were allegedly hiding, were also produced before the court.
During the hearing, CBI told the court that they need sustained custodial interrogation of the accused to complete its probe as there was a possibility that some higher officials may also be involved in this entire conspiracy.
"Some persons are evading arrest and they are not joining the investigation. Some higher officials may be involved in this case. Transcripts of the telephonic conversations clearly reflects that some higher officials may also be involved. We need remand to unearth the larger conspiracy," the CBI said.
