The Special Court of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) got into its custody the documents pertaining to the single digit lottery scam. The JMFC court at Bangarpet on Monday handed over the documents to the CBI court, Bengaluru.
Pari Rajan, a resident of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) and prime accused in the multi-crore single digit lottery scam which created a flutter when it was unearthed earlier this year, was arrested by the Excise and Anti-Lottery Cell on May 1. He was remanded in judicial custody and later shifted to the Central Prison at Parappana Agrahara in Bengaluru.
The Bangarpet court has rejected Rajan’s bail pleas in the past.
The CID had started investigation into the scandal and the State government later handed over the case to the CBI. A number of officials including a senior policeman have been suspended for their role in the scandal.
With the documents transferred to the CBI, all the investigations will
be held at its court in Bengaluru.
