Police file supplementary chargesheet against former MLA Balyan in organised crime case

New Delhi: Police has filed a supplementary chargesheet in a Delhi court against four accused persons, including former MLA Naresh Balyan, in an organised crime case.
All the accused were arrested in a Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) case related to an investigation into a crime syndicate allegedly run by gangster Kapil Sangwan, alias Nandu.

The court of special judge Kaveri Baweja, before whom the final report was filed, posted the matter for consideration on Friday. The supplementary chargesheet was filed against four accused persons — Sahil, alias Poli, Vijay, alias Kalu, Jyoti Prakash, alias Baba, and Balyan — under various sections of MCOCA.
This is the second supplementary chargesheet in the case and the first one naming Balyan. Earlier, the main chargesheet was filed against Ritik, alias Peter. The first supplementary chargesheet was filed against Rohit, also known as Anna, and Sachin Chikara. The court of special judge Dig Vinay Singh will hear the police's submissions on Friday.
Balyan was arrested in the case on Dec 4 last year. On Jan 8, police opposed his bail plea, saying that he was a "facilitator" in the organised crime syndicate. Therefore, the police urged the court to dismiss Balyan's bail plea, which the court did on Jan 15.
If bail was granted, police said, Balyan could have influenced witnesses, destroyed evidence, and hampered the ongoing investigation, the prosecution said. "They (witnesses) confessed that accused Naresh Balyan is a facilitator/conspirator in the organised crime syndicate of Kapil Sangwan and he provided money to one member of the syndicate after the commission of the crime for expenses during evading his arrest," special public prosecutor Akhand Pratap Singh said.
The prosecutor cited 16 FIRs lodged against the alleged syndicate members in various parts of Delhi and claimed that it had caused havoc in society.
