Ashesh and Shivangi Mehta’s aniticpatory bail was rejected by the district and sessions court Shivpuri, MP, on Thursday

The Madhya Pradesh police have alleged that Mumbai police helped the Mehtas, alleged masterminds of a massive home-based drug distribution racket, escape. Mumbai-based Ashesh and Shivangi Mehta are under the scanner of MP police after one of their workers was arrested with 142 gram Mephedrone (MD) worth R17 lakh by the Khaniyadhana police of Shivpuri district, MP on June 6. The Mumbai police have said the allegation is false and completely baseless. The couple on June 20 filed anticipatory bail applications in the district and sessions court, Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh which rejected them on Thursday.

MP police allege

Dhanendra Singh Bhadoria, the investigating officer who is also in charge of the Khaniyadhana police station, Madhya Pradesh (MP) , speaking to mid-day said, “I had kept all the details and told the court that the Mumbai police did not cooperate with us at all. We did not have any women personnel to take in the female accused. The Mumbai police had said that they would cooperate and bring the accused to us. We had instructed the absconding accused to come to the police station within three days and cooperate in the investigation, but the Mumbai police helped them run away.”
