New Delhi, Nov 19: CBI has secured a production warrant against scamster Abdul Karim Telgi in connection with the case registered in the alleged distribution of fake stamp papers to the tune of Rs nine crore in Gujarat.
A CBI court in Ahmedabad issued the production warrant against Telgi last evening asking the authorities to produce him on or before January seven next year in the court, agency sources said here.
Armed with the court order, CBI would now get in touch with the Karanatka authorities where Telgi was at present lodged in judicial custody and produce him in the designated court to seek his remand.
CBI said Telgi's role had come to the fore in the case registered by the agency in Gujarat last year in which one kingpin Sadiq Ibrahim, already under arrest, allegedly named the scamster as the brain behind the scam.
The case relates to arrest of seven persons including Sahaya Services, who were allegedly selling fake non-judicial papers in Ahmedabad. During investigations, the CBI arrested some more people in this connection and recovered a stock of such fake material to the tune of Rs 8.57 crore.
CBI has seized various bank accounts whose transactions were being traced to beneficiaries after it was suspected that money was allegedly routed to Telgi also.
