Police, while seeking an extension in his remand, told the court that they wanted to question him to recover Rs.4 crore. They said they also wanted to trace his investments in property.

Gupta was arrested Monday for his alleged connivance in defrauding Citibank customers, including his own company, of an estimated Rs.300 crore. The court earlier sent him to five days’ police remand.
