New Delhi, June 05: A Delhi court today remanded R Perumalsamy, personal assistant to former union minister of state for finance Gingee Ramachandran, Chennai-based chartered accountant A Krishnamurthy and IRS official Anurag Vardhan, facing charges in the cash-for-transfer scam, to judicial custody for 14 days. Special judge V K Jain, before whom the accused were produced on expiry of their police custody, sent them to Tihar Jail till June 19.

Meanwhile, CBI today moved the court to obtain custody of documents allegedly recovered during raids carried out on Krishnamurthy's Chennai premises.

The agency had deposited these documents before a Chennai court where the accused was produced after his arrest.
The application would come up for hearing on June 7.

CBI had arrested Perumalsamy and Padmanabhan on charges that they had accepted bribe money from Vardhan for giving him a choice transfer to Mumbai.
Krishnamurthy, the agency alleged, acted as the main conduit in the conspiracy.
