Puran Singh was arrested last night by the sleuths of Crime Branch's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) after his name cropped up during interrogation of Telgi's associates, they said.

Puran Singh has been accused of helping Telgi's associates while investigating two cases relating to the scam in 1999 and 2000, the sources said.

"His complicity with the accused is clear and police has enough evidence against him in this regard," they said.
