According to ED findings, substantial cash deposits and bank transfers were routed through accounts of property dealers and associated persons with no commensurate income. In a recent development, both accused were produced before the court via video conferencing and continue to remain in judicial custody.

Bhullar moved an application seeking supply of "unrelied" documents - materials gathered by the investigating agency but not relied upon in the prosecution's case.
