Supreme Court Seeks Contempt Action Against Businessman Satinder Bhasin for Bail Violation

A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking contempt proceedings and non-bailable warrants against businessman Satinder Singh Bhasin for failing to surrender after his bail was cancelled in the Grand Venice Mall scam case. The court had ordered Bhasin to surrender within a week of April 2, 2026, but he remains untraceable. Homebuyers allege deliberate defiance of court orders and accuse Bhasin of using legal tactics to delay compliance, raising concerns about enforcement by Uttar Pradesh Police.
