Kulamani Biswal was questioned along with Umapathi Reddy, the father of another accused Rohit Reddy, Director of BGR Mining and Infra Pvt Ltd, at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) headquarters in south Delhi's Lodhi Road for over two days.
The CBI registered a case against Biswal and Reddy on December 7 under charges of criminal conspiracy, under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act and had also carried out searches at their residential premises.
Biswal, who is also part of the Board of Directors of NTPC, escaped before the CBI raided the place the bribe was to be given. Prabhat Kumar, an alleged confidant of Reddy, who was assigned to deliver the money to Biswal, was arrested with the money.
"Biswal allegedly demanded the amount to spend during his trip abroad," a CBI official said.
