Mistri was arrested on July 14 for his complicity in the scandal but the police could get his custody nearly a fortnight later since he was under treatment at the Government Medical College for some cardiac ailment. The other three including Dagar's son, Sanjeev Kumar, were held on Wednesday on charges of getting their marks increased through various irregularities.

Both Mistri and Sanjeev Kumar, along with Manish Vadandare, son of varsity engineer Vitthal Vadandare, and Anil Sitaram Gupta, son of a senior official with the Geological Survey of India, were produced in the court of JMFC Masand on Thursday afternoon.

The police did not press for custody remand of Mistri - on thegrounds that he was no more required for further interrogation - as also the three `beneficiaries' following which the court remanded them to judicial custody for 14 days.

Sanjeev Kumar is a student of dental surgery and faces charges of allegedly getting his marks increased in two papers of Pathology subject during summer 1997 exams through the then Assistant Registrar Yadav Kohchade. Vadandare and Gupta are engineering students with the latter benefitting from the alleged irregularities by Dean of Engineering Faculty Hemant Omkar Thakre.
