A Delhi court today dismissed the bail plea of two accused in the Rs 10 crore cash-for-post railway bribery case in which former Railway Minister Pawan Kumar Bansal's nephew Vijay Singla is also facing prosecution.
Special CBI Judge Swarana Kanta Sharma refused bail to M V Murali Krishan and C V Venugopal, who were chargesheeted by CBI but were not arrested during the probe, and they were taken in custody in the court room itself.
Murali and Venugopal were named as accused in the charge sheet filed by CBI on July 2 along with eight others, including Singla and the then Member (Staff) of Railway Board Mahesh Kumar.
Out of the 10 chargesheeted persons, nine are now under judicial custody while alleged middleman Ajay Garg, who has been accused of being instrumental in fixing the bribe amount for getting a favourable post for Kumar, was granted bail by the court on July 8.
