Sartej Singh Narula, counsel for Kalyani Singh, told the CBI court that "the CBI has arrested her without making any headway in the case. The investigation has so far not been able to establish any link.

After few minutes, he was killed murdered by unidentified person(s).
After hearing of the arguments of both sides, the CBI court dismissed Kalyani’s bail application.
