Staff at High Court judge Justice Yashwant Varma's residence, where a huge amount of cash was recovered, may be involved in getting the money removed from the site, sources said, citing a Supreme Court-appointed in-house enquiry committee.

The enquiry committee confirmed the recovery of cash from the residence of Justice Varma, who was serving as a judge of the Delhi High Court, following a fire incident on March 14.

According to sources, Justice Varma lied and gave misleading information about the incident when asked about it. There was no clarity on the actual amount of money as the burnt cash "disappeared" before the investigation, they said.
