The VB sleuths also asked for the documents related to a flat purchased by him in Gurugram.

The VB had named eight accused in this case, including Manpreet, the then BDA administrator Bikramjit Singh Shergill, the then BDA superintendent Pankaj Kalia, Rajiv Kumar, Vikas Arora, Amandeep, liquor baron Jaswinder Singh Jugnu and advocate Sanjeev Kumar.
