- Saurabh’s lawyer argues that all ED’s allegations are fabricated; court reserves decision
Bhopal: In the Enforcement Directorate (ED) court, advocate Deepesh Joshi, representing former RTO constable Saurabh Sharma, and advocate Rajneesh Baraiya, representing Saurabh’s associate Sharad Jaiswal, filed a bail petition on Monday. This petition was heard in the court of Special Judge Sachin Kumar Ghosh on Wednesday.
ED lawyer Vikram Singh opposed the bail for Saurabh and Sharad, describing their actions as serious. In contrast, Saurabh’s lawyer, Deepesh Joshi, said ED’s allegations are imaginary. He labeled them as false and sought bail. After hearing arguments from both parties, the court has reserved its decision until Thursday.
Bail granted to family members
On April 9, Saurabh’s mother, Uma Sharma, wife, Divya Sharma, brother-in-law, Vinay Aswani, and Jabalpur resident brother-in-law, Rohit Tiwari, were granted bail from this court.

If bail is not granted, Saurabh Sharma and his associates, Sharad and Chetan, will be produced via video conferencing on May 5. Saurabh’s mother, Uma Sharma, was present in court during the hearing of his bail application.
