Summary:
New Delhi, Jan 19 (PTI) The Supreme Court Wednesday rapped the Uttar Pradesh government for not releasing a man arrested in connection with Rs 3,500 crore Noida “bike bot” Ponzi scheme despite its order a month ago.
A three-judge bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar stopped short of imposing cost on the state government and said it is a serious matter.
"What are we hearing? One month ago, we passed the order and the man has not been released yet.

You will not release the person even after a month.
It"s a very serious issue," said the bench, also comprising Justices Dinesh Maheshwari and C T Ravikumar.
