In response to the plea submitted on Wednesday CBI has on Thursday filed its reply to Justice OP Saini and according to a source, it is learnt that the premier investigating agency has apprehensions and raised objections that Balwa could influence the witnesses, if allowed to move out of Tihar.

Saini has reserved his decision for Friday.

Earlier, his counsel Vijay Aggarwal submitted that Balwa should be allowed to attend EGM in judicial custody. Balwa is one of the shareholders of Etisalat DB.

Delhi High Court had on Wednesday rejected the bail pleas of DMK MP Kanimozhi and Kalaignar TV managing director Sharad Kumar, who are in jail in connection with the 2G spectrum scam.
