The four are Laxmi Narayan Meena, retired DDA employee M.L. Gautam, real estate agent Raju Ram and Deepak Kumar, who allegedly blew the lid off the scam after he fell out with some fellow real estate agents.
The court also rejected the bail plea of Dinesh, who helped the other accused in making fake election cards.
The draw of lots for 5,238 DDA flats, priced between Rs.700,000 to Rs.7.7 million, took place Dec 16. It has been marred by charges of irregularities in selecting successful applicants.
