The accused appeared before the court in pursuance of a summons issued to them by the court earlier. The judge had issued the summons after taking cognizance of a supplementary charge sheet against the accused persons.
The final report was filed before the court by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on August 6. The ED filed its case based on an FIR lodged by the CBI.
