Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Arun Bhardwaj extended the custody of Qureshi who was arrested in a money laundering case.
Meanwhile, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) supplied the copies of the prosecution complaint to Qureshi in the case.
The ED arrested Qureshi on August 25 after a case was filed against him last year under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act for alleged illegal forex dealings and tax evasion.
Qureshi is accused of dealing in 'hawala' money for government officials, including some CBI officers.
The ED had said that during its probe, facts emerged on acts of omission and commission of certain public servants holding high positions in collusion with Qureshi.
The agency said that records from the Income Tax Department revealed that Qureshi took a huge amount of money from different people in lieu of "undue favours from public servants".
The ED has alleged that Qureshi had "extorted" Rs 7.5 crore from two businessmen, Pradeep Koneru and Satish Sana on the pretext of helping them in the pending court cases using his influence.
The ED said that Qureshi used the names of former CBI directors Ranjit Sinha and A.P. Singh and promised the businessmen to help them in their CBI cases.
The ED has also named four companies S.M. Production Private Limited, Pernia Qureshi Consultancy Private Limited, Abdul Majeed Qureshi Proprietary Firm and Great Height Infratech Private Limited in the chargesheet.
