Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Tushar Mehta, appearing for the police, told Justice Pratibha Rani that they were opposing the bail plea of Kanhaiya. Delhi Police Commissioner B S Bassi, who said that police would not object if Kanhaiya applied for bail, said,&ldquo;We have reasonable apprehension that if he (Kanhaiya) comes out on bail, he is bound to impact the investigation and influence witnesses. He is also likely to indulge in activities that violate penal laws.&rdquo;
