The order was passed by special judge Kaweri Baweja of the Rouse Avenue Court. The Delhi Police Crime Branch had sought another 10-day police custody of Balyan in an application before the court.
Special public prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh, while seeking custody of Balyan, submitted that nine more names linked to Balyan have surfaced during the MCOCA case investigation against him and he needs to be interrogated for the same.
Meanwhile, advocate MS Khan, on behalf of Balyan, while relying on 15 cases lodged against Kapil Sangwan, said that charge sheets in all these cases have been filed and so, a fresh probe cannot start in these cases. “For an MCOCA offence, the continuation of an offence must be shown...the same has no bearing in the present case,” he argued before the court.
