Justice Anoop Kumar Mendiratta of the Delhi High Court rejected Kumar's bail plea, observing that though he happens to be only designated as a personal secretary to the Chief Minister but he yields considerable influence. The high court found that at this stage, it could not be be ruled out that witnesses may be influenced or evidence may be tampered with, if bail is granted to Kumar.
Justice Mendiratta further observed that allegations of assault cannot be disbelieved merely on account of delay filing of FIR.
Kumar was denied bail by the trial court on May 27. His second regular bail plea was rejected by the sessions court on June 07.
