Mumbai Police on Tuesday opposed a bail application filed by 'bookie' Anil Jaisinghani in a case of alleged attempt to blackmail and bribe Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis's wife Amruta Fadnavis, claiming that Jaisinghani was "the main instigator" of the crime.

In a related development, Jaisinghani's daughter Aniksha, a co-accused in the case, was released from Byculla women's prison here following the bail granted to her by the sessions court on Monday.
