The order came after Balyan was produced before the Court on the expiry of his seven-day police custody, which was granted in the case earlier by special judge Kaveri Baweja.
AAP’s Uttam Nagar MLA Naresh Balyan has been sent to judicial custody in the case of alleged organized crimes by a Delhi court, but the police declined further remand to it on Friday.
Special judge Kaveri Baweja passed the order after Balyan was produced before the court on the expiry of his seven-day police custody granted in the case earlier. The judge dismissed an application moved by Delhi police seeking his further custody for 10 days in the case lodged under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
Special public prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh, appearing for Delhi police, sought further police custody of Balyan, stating that he needed to be interrogated to uncover the larger conspiracy in the case.
Balyan was produced before the court on the expiry of the seven-day police custody granted in the case earlier. The lawmaker was arrested on December 4 in an alleged case of organized crime, whereas his court granted him bail in a purported extortion case.
