Once these formalities are completed, Rajan will be formally arrested by the CBI. Until then he will remain in the custody of the Special Cell of the Delhi police. An officer in the Delhi police informed OneIndia that they will like their counterparts in Mumbai hand over all the cases they have registered against him to the CBI.
