Allahabad : The Allahabad High Court today stayed the arrest of suspended Samajwadi Party MP Raj Babbar for alleged cheating and forgery in purchasing of land in Agra, his Lok Sabha constituency in Uttar Pradesh.
The court has asked the state of U P and other respondents to file their counter affidavits in the matter.
