The Delhi High Court Wednesday granted bail to AAP legislator Prakash Jarwal in connection with a case of the alleged suicide of a doctor in south Delhi, saying he was not required for further investigation and trial will take substantial time.
A Delhi court on Thursday extended till May 18 the police custody of AAP MLA Prakash Jarwal, arrested in connection with a case of the alleged suicide of a doctor in south Delhi last month.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA Prakash Jarwal and his aide Kapil Nagar have been arrested in connection with the alleged suicide of a doctor in south Delhi's Durga Vihar last month.

Justice Mukta Gupta issued notice to the Delhi Police and directed them to file a status report in the matter by March 7.
Special judge Anju Bajaj Chandna refused to consider the bail plea of Jarwal, an MLA from Deoli constituency here, who had sought the relief on the ground that he was young and recently married.
The two MLAs were arrested in connection with the alleged assault on the bureaucrat during a meeting at Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's residence on the night of February 19.
The court is hearing the bail plea of two Aam Aadmi Party MLAs -- Amanatullah Khan and Prakash Jarwal -- accused of manhandling Delhi Chief Secretary Anshu Prakash.
