Delhi Court Sends AAP MLA Naresh Balyan To Judicial Custody In Extortion Case

Special judge Kaveri Baweja passed the order after Naresh Balyan was produced before the court on expiry of his seven-day police custody granted in the case earlier.

A Delhi court on Friday sent AAP's Uttam Nagar MLA Naresh Balyan to judicial custody in a case related to alleged organised crimes, while denying police his further remand.

Special judge Kaveri Baweja passed the order after Naresh Balyan was produced before the court on 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-day in the case lodged under stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
