While opposing the bail plea of Ashutosh Bhardwaj, who was accused of lying to the police about the identity of the driver, Delhi Police informed the court on Monday that they were in the process of invoking the murder section in the Kanjhawala case. Atul Shrivastava, the special public prosecutor, had claimed that the inquiry was at a pivotal point. 

Taking police claims into consideration that Bhardwaj allegedly deceived and harboured the other accused persons, the court refused bail to him on January 12 in Bhardwaj's case.
