Ketan Parekh, Kartik Parekh and Jatin Sarvaiya on Saturday alleged before a court that "they were beaten up by police who asked them to toe their line or face prosecution in similar scam cases".
They were held earlier this week on the charge of swindling Rs 83.22 crore of a foreign company.
In keeping with a court directive, the trio were produced before Magistrate A B Shelar who recorded their statements in the presence of defence lawyers Amit Desai, Prenov Badheka and Amol Chougale.
A complaint was filed by their lawyers on Friday alleging police harassment of their clients.
The accused informed the magistrate that they were made to stand for hours facing a wall in the prison cell and were beaten up by cops. However, they could not see their faces and would not be able to identify the policemen who assaulted them.
