The probe into the lockdown violation by the DHFL promotors Dhiraj and Kapil Wadhawan has been completed. Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh on Sunday said that both of them had been taken into custody and further arrest procedures are going on.

Gupta had given written permission to them to travel in five vehicles, and when they reached Mahabaleshwar, locals protested follwing which they were all sent into institutional quarantine at the twin hill-station of Panchgani.
