Mumbai: A local magistrate's court today rejected the bail application of the city-based software engineer Anees Ansari who was arrested for allegedly conspiring to blow up US establishments in the city.

Earlier, the sessions court had rejected his bail application on December 22 last year. In the present application, Ansari had argued that as the murder charge was not applicable, the police should have filed  the charge sheet within 60 days, which they did not.
