A CBI court here on Wednesday further extended by five days the CBI custody of ex-Noida chief engineer Yadav Singh.
Yadav Singh, then chief engineer of the NOIDA/Greater Noida/Yamuna Expressway, has already spent six days in the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation.
The CBI presented a huge quantity of material related to the case in the court of Special Judge G Sridevi. It sought an eight-day remand saying it needed to unearth the corrupt practices from among 2,000 files related to the wrongful award of contracts.
The accused was arrested on February 3 on charges of abusing his official position to award contracts and causing wrongful loss to the Government exchequer.
