They said Veerendra was produced before Special court in Bengaluru which has sent him to six days of CBI custody for questioning.
The sources said during the six days of questioning CBI will confront him with documents recovered from his premises and will try to get the source of these funds which may unravel alleged involvement of senior bank officials in the case.
