Delhi court dismisses plea of AAP MLA seeking permission to attend last right of father-in law

A special court in Delhi on Friday dismissed the interim bail plea of Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Prakash Jarwal, who was arrested in connection with the alleged suicide case of a doctor in the national capital.

Special Judge (PC Act) Sanjeev Aggarwal, while dismissing the interim bail plea, said that considering the dominant position of the accused the chances of the accused influencing the witnesses cannot be ruled out.

"The investigations are still in progress, in these circumstances if the accused is released on interim bail, considering the dominant position of the accused, who is stated to be resident of the same locality as also the local MLA, therefore chances of the accused influencing the witnesses cannot be ruled out. Therefore, no ground for interim bail is made out at this stage. The application stands dismissed," the order said.
