A Delhi court rejected the anticipatory bail plea of a man accused of securing enrolment as an advocate with the Bar Council of Delhi (BCD) on the basis of a forged law degree and fabricated documents.

Additional Sessions Judge Shunali Gupta, who was hearing the plea filed by advocates K Rajan and Kartik Chettiav on behalf of J Vansanthan, denied the relief, saying the allegations against Vansanthan were serious and that custodial interrogation may be required to unearth a larger conspiracy.
