"It is stated by the IO that the investigation is still going on and witnesses are yet to be located. Some more evidences are being collected in connection with the case. All the accused are sent to judicial custody till September 11," Special CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) Judge V K Gupta said.

Besides Mr Jain and Mr Singal, alleged middleman Purshottam Totlani, Arun Aggarwal, Prakash Industries Ltd CMD Ved Prakash Agarwal and its director Vipul Agarwal, and some other accused were arrested by CBI in connection with the case.
They have been booked under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act and criminal conspiracy under the IPC.
