Moin Akhtar Qureshi Aide Satish Babu Sana Granted Bail

New Delhi: A court here on Monday granted bail to businessman Satish Babu Sana, a close aide of controversial meat exporter Moin Akhtar Qureshi, in a money laundering case. Granting bail, special CBI Judge Anuradha Shukla Bhardwaj directed him to furnish a personal bail bond of Rs 5 lakh and one surety of like amount. “The accused is, however, directed to co-operate in the investigation and make himself available as and when called for by the investigating agency. He shall not leave the country without the permission of the court...,” the court said.

Allowing bail to Sana, the court observed that Moin Akhtar Qureshi, who is the main accused in the case, is already out on bail and Sana’s role in the case is no graver than him. During the course of hearing on Saturday, lawyers K.T.S. Tulsi and Mohit Mathur, appearing for Satish Babu Sana, contended that his statements cannot lead to his arrest as he was a witness and there is immunity provided to a witness that no such answers that a witness is compelled to give can subject him to be arrested.
