Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sleuths questioned suspended bureaucrat S.C. Jayachandra after obtaining a body warrant on Friday.
The suspended officer of the Karnataka Public Works Department was under the custody of the Enforcement Directorate — on charges of money-laundering — and was granted interim bail by a CBI Special Court on Thursday. However, as he failed to fulfil the conditions of the bail, he continued to remain in judicial custody till Friday.
In the interim, the CBI, which had booked him under the Prevention of Corruption Act on December 3, obtained a body warrant.
On Friday, sleuths were granted custody by the CBI special court for the next five days.
