[00:00:00]Sir, today Vinay Chandele's bail application has been allowed by the Delhi Patiala House Court. What were the submissions and what transpired in the court today? We filed a regular bail a few days back and ED was supposed to file a reply. So, yesterday they filed a reply and they gave no objection for grant of bail.
