New Delhi, Oct 13: A city court today dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of top singer Daler Mehndi, saying his custodial interrogation was necessary in the case pertaining to alleged illegal trafficking of people. Additional Sessions Judge A K Mendiratta dismissed the application saying that perusal of the FIR revealed that serious allegations have been laid out against Mehndi and his custodial interrogation was necessary.
