The bail plea of Anwar Dhebar, arrested by the ED in the liquor scam case and lodged in the Central Jail Raipur in judicial custody, was presented in the court of Special Judge Ajay Singh Rajput. The petition has been presented by advocates Prafulla Bharat and Mateen Siddiqui on behalf of Anwar Dhebar.

There are reports that tomorrow itself, Anwar will rejoinder or present arguments again on the arguments given by ED.
