The Delhi High Court refuses to grant bail to former AAP MLA Naresh Balyan in a case registered under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). The court delivers the decision in response to Balyan’s bail application, in which he argues that there is no evidence against him and that the case is frivolous. According to reports, Balyan is alleged to have acted as a “facilitator” for an organised crime syndicate. The High Court’s order follows an earlier development in which a trial court had denied him bail in the same MCOCA case on January 15, 2025. The prosecution, as described in one account, points to multiple FIRs linked to the alleged syndicate members across Delhi and contends that the group amassed illegal wealth. Balyan was arrested on December 4, 2024, the same day a trial court granted him bail in an alleged extortion case. After the High Court’s rejection, Balyan continues to remain in custody in the MCOCA matter while the case proceeds.
