It was following this scam that the EOW had lodged an FIR on October 13, 1992, at the Hazratganj police station.
A total of eight separate cases were lodged from crime number 1335 to 1342 at the Hazratganj police station.
The EOW had named six persons in the case of fraud and breach of trust in this regard.
The sources in the EOW said that sooner or later, some high profile individuals including some former bureaucrats might fall in the police net in the case.
On Wednesday night, Kaiserbagh police, following a tip-off, had arrested two persons, who were identified as Sanjeev Kheda and Sanjay Kheda of Gurgaon-based Manu Agro Firm.
The two have been arrested with regards to repayment of a loan, the sources said.
Both were arrested from a hotel in Kaiserbagh, the police sources said.
