The court of Judicial Magistrate First Class Bhupendra Goyal sent Mohan Agrawal to judicial remand, as a result of which he was sent to Mhow jail on Tuesday. Agrawal is the kingpin and prime accused in the Rs 50 cr Public Distribution System (PDS) scam of Mhow. Government pleader Ajay Nema confirmed about court's action regarding Mohan Agrawal.

Agrawal had surrendered before the police a few days back and was on police remand for recovery of evidence and gathering information about the other people involved in the scam who had been helping him in misappropriating the government supply ration meant for distribution amongst the poor people.

Nema said that there is clear evidence about 22 trucks of rice sold to traders in Katni, Katangi, Hoshangabad and Balaghat by Mohan Agrawal through Ayush Agrawal, the co-accused in the case. Police remand was needed for recovery of all that material from the respective places. Nema said that cases have also been registered against Agrawal at Manpur police station, due to which Manpur police had formally arrested Agrawal at Mhow court and requested the court for his remand to be given to Manpur police. On this, the court has fixed the date of Wednesday for hearing on his police remand. He will again be produced in the court on Wednesday.
