The bail was rejected on the ground that the accusations against him were “quite grave” and “more than 100 witnesses are still to be examined by the prosecution.”

Gupta was arrested in January 2011 for allegedly conniving with Shivraj Puri, the main accused in the case, who had conned several Citibank customers.
