NEW DELHI: CBI sleuths are yet to apprehend city-based contractor Ashok Malhotra, alleged mastermind of a multi-crore rupees land scam, against whom a court has issued a non-bailable warrant.
Several teams of CBI officials conducted searches across Delhi and other areas outside the national capital to nab Malhotra who has been evading questioning despite being summoned by the agency to appear before it.
The agency had yesterday secured a non-bailable warrant from a city court against the contractor. Special Judge S K Kaushik also asked the investigating agency to produce him before the court on or before August 14.
Malhotra is accused of having entered into a criminal conspiracy with five DDA officials and fraudulently acquiring plots in Dhirpur area that were meant for resettlement of slum dwellers during 2000-02.
The CBI is examining voluminous documents recovered during raids at Malhotra's residential premises in Mukherjee Nagar locality and other places here, sources said.
Searches at the residential premises of Malhotra have revealed that he was in possession of 17 luxury cars having VIP number plates, Rs 17 lakh cash and about seven kg of gold.
