The Delhi High Court today dismissed the bail plea of alleged middleman Sukesh Chandrashekar, arrested in the Election Commission bribery case involving AIADMK (Amma) faction leader T T V Dhinakaran.<br/><br/>Justice S Muralidhar turned down Chandrashekar's bail application on the ground that the police had seized a fake Rajya Sabha member ID card from his possession, which was a serious threat on Parliament's security.<br/><br/>Chandrashekar had moved the high court challenging the trial court's June 9 order that denied him relief saying the probe showed he was the key accused. His counsels submitted before the court that he should be granted relief on grounds of parity with Dhinakaran, who is out on bail. <br/><br/>Chandrashekar was arrested on April 16 for allegedly taking money from co-accused Dhinakaran to bribe Election Commission officials to get the AIADMK 'two leaves' symbol for the Sasikala faction in a by-election to the R K Nagar Assembly seat in Tamil Nadu. Dhinakaran was arrested on April 25 after four days of questioning for allegedly attempting to bribe EC officials for the symbol.
