They were among the 20 officials who were booked by the BMTF for irregularities in sanctioning building and layout plans.
The officers had been evading arrest ever since cases were registered against them. Four of these officials had even approached the high court seeking relief but the court directed them to appear before the BMTF and give their statements.
