India, Sept. 26 -- A Delhi court on Friday rejected the anticipatory bail plea of Swami Chaitanyanand Saraswati, who is under investigation for alleged financial irregularities.

The order was passed by the Patiala House Court, which observed that the nature of the accusations warrants custodial interrogation at this stage of the probe.

This comes hours after the court reserved order on the anticipatory bail plea of a self-styled godman in an alleged cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy case against him.
