After evidence was placed in front of him, se courts denied bail to Sanjay Singh, Vijay Nair and all of m stated that highest levels of Delhi government were collaborating and conniving in taking part in this entire ghotala. Are all courts wrong? Are all courts vindictive? Are all courts not able to see that you are kattar Immandar and today you must answer that new Liquor policy was me without your knowledge.”
