NEW DELHI: A city court on Monday remanded Ashok Malhotra, the alleged mastermind behind the Molarband land scam, to nine-day judicial custody.
Allowing CBI's plea, Special Judge S K Kaushik sent Malhotra to judicial custody till September 12.
Malhotra moved an application stating he was apprehending danger to his life and sought security inside and outside the jail.
The court directed the Tihar Jail Superintendent to ensure Malhotra's safety.
"Whenever he is sent from Tihar to Tis Hazari lock up, he should be kept separately from other jail inmates," it said.
Meanwhile, the interim bail application of Malhotra would come up for hearing on September seven as his counsel D C Mathur was not present in the court today.
The other accused in the land scam, who were in judicial custody, were Phillip Toppo, Arun Kumar Mishra, both Deputy Directors in the MCD, and Assistant Director Jeet Ram Gaur.
The CBI is yet to arrest suspended Upper Division Clerk in MCD's slum and JJ department, Atul Vashisth, who was also allegedly involved in the scam.
