A court here Monday dismissed the interim bail plea of former parliamentarian Dhananjay Singh's wife Jagriti Singh, accused in a case of maid's torture and death.

The bail application had stated that Jagriti needed to undergo gall bladder surgery due to her deteriorating medical condition.

The charge sheet filed in the case by police said that Jagriti used to beat three domestic helps with metallic deer horns, wooden sticks and electric iron. She has been charged with murder also.
Singh and his wife, who is a dental surgeon in a government hospital here, were arrested in November 2013.
