The CBI on Friday questioned Naval War room leak case accused Abhishek Verma and his wife in a separate case against him for allegedly taking money from a Swiss defence supply company for an assurance to stall its blacklisting by the government.
CBI sources said Verma along with his wife was extensively questioned by the sleuths regarding transactions of funds between Ganton India and Ganton USA, which are claimed to be his front companies.
The sleuths also asked him about his business relationships with estranged associate C Edmon Allen who has made several serious complaints against him with top officials of investigative agencies here and FBI in the US.
Those questioned on Friday also included the then Director of the Swiss defence suplly company Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (RAD) Mohinder Sahni and Arjun Arora, whose house was searched on Thursday.
The CBI had booked Verma in a fresh case alleging that he took $5.30 lakh from RAD on the promise that he would use his influence to stall blacklisting proceedings intiated by the government against it after the Ordnance Factory Board scam surfaced.
After registering the case, 10 CBI teams, which were later joined by the criminal investigation unit of I-T, swooped down at 10 locations in Delhi and Gurgaon which included four premises of Verma, offices of RAD in Vasant Vihar and Satya Niketan and farm house of its Director Mohinder Sahni in Kishangarh and three associates of Verma, they said.
