The ACMM rejectedPrabhakar’s plea for interim bail after the prosecution counsel saidthe issue before the court today was limited to his transit remand andnot the merit of the case.Prabhakar’s counsel Rajesh Batra sought interim bail for his client onthe ground that he had already been granted bail in a related case byUttaranchal High Court earlier.Uttaranchal police arrested Prabhakar from his office at Malviya Nagarin South Delhi this morning, while executing the NBW issued inconnection with chit fund company APACE Investment Ltd case. Thepolice allege that Prabhakar as director of the company had defraudedand cheated people while it accepted deposits from them.Prabhakar, while coming out ot the court, said "I am not involved inthe case and I have nothing to do with APACE. I am not involved inany scam whatsoever."
