Special Judge Dig Vijay Singh dismissed the application, saying there was no sufficient ground to grant the relief.
This was the second bail application moved by Balyan in the case. He was produced before the court through video conferencing from jail.
The Delhi Police on May 1 chargesheeted Balyan in the case.
The supplementary chargesheet was filed against four accused persons — Sahil alias Poli, Vijay alias Kalu, Jyoti Prakash alias Baba, and Balyan — under stringent sections of the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
All accused persons were arrested in the case related to an organised crime syndicate allegedly run by gangster Kapil Sangwan alias Nandu.
