Bangarpet, May 30 (DHNS): The JMFC court here has extended till June 12 the judicial custody of Pari Rajan, the prime accused in multi-crore single digit lottery scam.
Rajan has been booked under section 120 B of the IPC and various sections of the Lotteries Regulation Act.
Meanwhile, the kingpin of the illegal lottery scam is likely to file anticipatory bail in the High Court after his plea for advance bail in Civil Court (Junior Division) in Bangarpet and Principal Civil Court in Kolar was declined.
