Advocate Shankar Banerjee represented Vinay Choubey, while Special Public Prosecutor Abhishek Krishna Gupta argued on behalf of the ACB.
Vinay Choubey will remain in jail for the time being.
The FIR in this case was registered in August 2025 under case number 9/2025. Earlier, Choubey was also named as an accused in the Jharkhand liquor scam.
However, he had secured bail in that case because the chargesheet was not filed within the stipulated time.
