New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Friday refused to extend the Parole of Sahara chief Subrata Roy and sent him back to the Tihar jail. According to the sources, the SC was miffed over wrong statements on property status given by the Sahara group.

The SC went furious when the Stock Exchange Board of India (SEBI) informed it that most of the properties declared by the group in the list meant for auction were already attached by the Income Tax Department.

The apex court said, you have given list of property which was already attached and you are not cooperating. Better you go back to jail.

The top court has also sent two other Sahara directors to jail.
