Adarsh Society missing files case: CBI arrests 3 UDD officials

MUMBAI: The CBI on Thursday arrested three state government officials in connection with the Adarsh Housing Society missing files case.

Desk officer G Wajpe, Assistant Town Planner N N Narvekar and Waman Rawool, all officials of the State Urban Development Department, were arrested this evening, a senior CBI official said.

"The three accused were the last ones to have dealt with the missing file. During the questioning, they did not give clear answers, so they were arrested," the official said.

They will be produced before Special CBI Court tomorrow. After the scam came to light last September, some important files regarding the building were found to have been missing from the office of UDD.

Incidentally, while hearing a PIL regarding the scam this afternoon, Bombay High Court had rapped CBI for neglecting "the missing files case", directing the agency to focus on it too.
