Syndicate Bank’s suspended chairman and managing director (CMD) SK Jain and a co-accused in a bribery case were on Monday remanded in CBI custody till Tuesday by a special court after the agency said they were required to be confronted with alleged middleman Purushottam Totlani.
Special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Judge Swarana Kanta Sharma sent Jain and Vineet Godha to CBI custody after they were produced in court in pursuance to the production warrants issued against them on 20 September.
During the hearing, the CBI sought custodial interrogation of both the accused saying they were to be confronted with Totlani, who is already in their custody after surrendering before the court on 17 September.
According to the probe agency, the alleged bribe amount in the case was sent to Godha through Totlani who was in touch with him and also knew Jain.
Totlani had surrendered on 17 September and was sent to police custody till 20 September which was later extended to 23 September. Totlani had earlier filed an anticipatory bail plea in the court which was dismissed on the ground that his custodial interrogation was required to unearth the entire conspiracy and to know about the trail of the alleged bribe.
