A Delhi court on Tuesday dismissed the bail plea of former Aam Aadmi Party MLA Naresh Balyan in a case registered under the MCOCA Act.
Special Judge Digvijay Singh dismissed the application, saying that there is not enough basis to provide relief.
This was the second bail plea filed by Balyan in this case. He was produced in court through a video conference from jail.
On May 1, Delhi Police filed a charge sheet against Balyan in this case.
Four accused – Sahil alias Poli, Vijay alias Kalu, Jyoti Prakash alias Baba and Balyan were filed under the rigorous sections of the Maharashtra Organized Crime Control Act (MCOCA).
All the accused were arrested in a case related to an organized crime syndicate allegedly conducted by gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu.
Balyan was arrested in the case on 4 December last year, while a court granted him bail in a forced recovery case.
In this case, the court refused to grant him bail on 15 January. Delhi Police had said that the investigation of the case is in an important phase and if the accused is granted bail, the investigation would be interrupted.
