Two of the accused -- Hari Prakash Sharma (31), a resident of Sonepat in Haryana, and Prahlad Bhagat Sharma (59) were together running the business of preparing false I-Cards.
The third accused -- Gagan Deep Singh (29), a resident of Karol Bagh, is a computer graphic designer who took orders from Hari Prakash and others for printing of CBI logos on T-Shirts, lanyards and badges on nominal charges, police said.
"Yesterday, at about 2.20 PM, Anil Kumar Singh, DSP/CBI, reported at Police Station, Uttam Nagar, that he received a message from CBI/Headquarter, Delhi that one person namely Hari Prakash Sharma wanted to meet him. After due formalities, Sharma was allowed to meet him," said Additional Commissioner of Police (West) Ranvir Singh.
Anil Kumar Singh, who was surprised that Hari Prakash had an I-card as CBI does not issue them to informers, asked where he got it from. Sharma then disclosed that Prahlad Bhagat had issued the fake I-card and he provided the same to many others from his house in Uttam Nagar. Sharma said Prahlad too had impersonated as an informer of CBI.
