The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) registered the case against Deepak Kumar, who allegedly blew the lid off the fraud after he fell out with a cartel of property dealers, for obtaining two PAN (permanent account number) cards in separate names.

"Deepak has two PAN cards - one in the name of Deepak Kumar and another in the name of Deepak Singh. But details and photograph are same in both,” said Additional Commissioner of Police (EOW) S.B.K. Singh.

“The cards were issued in his name in a short duration of time. We will request the court to extend his remand when we produce him in the court on Tuesday,” he added.

Four people, including retired DDA employee M.L. Gautam, have been arrested so far in the DDA flat allotment scam. The EOW is questioning 10 more people.
