The Supreme Court denied anticipatory bail to Abhishek Jha, the husband of suspended Jharkhand cadre IAS officer Pooja Singhal, in a money laundering case related to the alleged MNREGA scam in the state.

Singhal, a 2000-batch IAS officer, is the main accused in the scam, which involves the alleged embezzlement of public funds amounting to Rs 18.07 crore during her tenure as the deputy commissioner of Khunti district.

A vacation bench comprising Justice Surya Kant and Justice M M Sundresh refused to grant relief to Jha and scheduled the next hearing for July 5.
