Rejecting their bail applications, additional sessions judge IK Kochar said, "Investigations are at an initial stage and releasing reports at this point of time may hamper the probe."

The four accused -- Suresh Nanda, Sanjeev Nanda, their chartered accountant Bipin Shah and Income Tax deputy director (investigation) Ashutosh Verma -- were arrested on March 8 in a raid at a Mumbai hotel.
