New Delhi: Delhi Police recently filed the first chargesheet in a case related to Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) in which Aam Aadmi Party MLA Naresh Balyan is an accused. However, he is not named in it. The chargesheet, filed on Dec 26 and spanning 300 pages, named Rithik Peter under Section 3 (punishment for organised crime) of MCOCA.
The court listed the matter for consideration on Jan 9. Meanwhile, it adjourned the hearing on Balyan's bail application in the MCOCA case to Jan 8. On Dec 12, a few hours after Balyan was granted bail in an extortion case by a Delhi court, he was arrested again by Delhi Police in a separate FIR on charges under MCOCA.
Earlier, Balyan was arrested on Nov 30, hours after BJP publicly played an audio clip of what it claimed was a con versation between Balyan and a gangster..
