Delhi court grants bail to AAP MLA Naresh Balyan in extortion case

A Delhi court on Wednesday granted bail to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Naresh Balyan in an extortion case.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Paras Dalal granted the relief to the accused on a personal bond of Rs 50,000 and one surety of like amount.

The judge rejected police plea for 14-day judicial custody of the accused while also dismissing the police plea seeking his arrest in a fresh case lodged under stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, calling it not maintainable.
