ITANAGAR, Aug 27 (PTI): The Gauhati High Court today rejected the bail petition of former Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Gegong Apang, arrested three days ago for his alleged involvement in a multi-crore public distribution system scam.
Judge P K Mussahary of the Itanagar bench turned down the bail plea of Apang, who was arrested here by the Special Investigation Cell (SIC) on August 24 and remanded in seven days' police custody.
The court rejected Apang's plea after the investigating agency submitted it could not interrogate Apang as he was admitted to hospital the same day.
The incarcerated Congress leader was represented by counsels K Ete and A Apang.
SIC head M S Chauhan said the agency did not get the opportunity to cross-question Apang on the basis of material evidences against him and statements of other accused.
