EC bribery case: 'Middleman' Sukesh Chandrashekhar's bail plea rejected

New Delhi  : The Delhi High Court on Wednesday rejected the bail plea of alleged middleman Sukesh Chandrasekhar in the AIADMK 'Two leaves' symbol case.

 On Friday, the Tis Hazari Court had dismissed the bail plea of Chandrasekhar.

A Delhi court had earlier granted bail to hawala operators Lalit Kumar and Nathu Singh in this matter.

Earlier in the month, the Tis Hazari court granted bail to T.T.V. Dhinakaran and his aide Mallikarjun in the same case on furnishing of a personal bond of Rs. 5 lakh each and surrender of their passports.

The Delhi Police had earlier



opposed Chandrashekhar's bail plea, following which the court had reserved its order.

The Delhi Police claimed that Sukesh had many cases pending against him and also asserted that more arrests are likely to be made in the case soon.

Earlier on April 25, a Delhi court extended the alleged middleman's police custody till April 28, hours after Dhinakaran accepted that he met Chandrashekhar in his bribery dealing with the Election Commission.

Dhinakaran initially refused to have known Sukesh. He later accepted meeting him when Sukesh himself gave the details of his meeting with the former.
