A special court in Mumbai on Friday refused to grant bail to Ukrainian actor Armen Ataine arrested in the Torres investment fraud case.
His plea was denied by special judge for cases under Maharashtra Protection of Interest of Depositors Act NP Mehta.
The detailed order, however, has not been made available as yet.
The accused, in his bail plea moved through advocates Trupen Rathod and Vivek Tiwary, claimed he was innocent and that his career would be ruined if he was kept in jail. He also said his name is not mentioned in the FIR and that he had been falsely implicated in the case.
