New Delhi: A Supreme Court led bench comprising Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul and Justice Hemant Gupta refused to entertain the bail plea of Raghib, son of Akhtar Parwez, owner of the famed biryani chain 'Arsalan'.
The Court dismissed the plea saying that "we are not inclined to interfere with the impugned order" and disposed of the plea.

Back in 2019, the accused Raghib had sped his Jaguar at 130km/hr, which led to the death of two Bangladeshis. Dismissing the bail plea, the apex court pulled up the accused saying, "You want a concession only because you are rich, but we will not do that."
"Is it not true that you had a history of violating traffic signals 48 times during the seven months prior to this incident?" asked the court.

Though Akhtar Parwez asserted that his son has a psychological disorder, the National Institute of Health and Neurosciences refuted the claim after which the Calcutta HC had given a nod on the trial.
