Her plea seeking quashing of FIR has been listed for a hearing in February 2025.

Delhi police had registered an FIR against her on allegations that she obtained a Scheduled caste certificate on the basis of fabricated documents.

Earlier, she contested the MCD election as SC candidate from Sultanpuri ward.

The FIR was registered on the order passed by Rohini Court on a complaint filed by the defeated congress candidate.

Rohini Court on October 4 dismissed the anticipatory bail plea moved by Transgender MCD Councillor Bobi Kinner.

The court had said that her custodial interrogation is required in this case. It also said that there may be a nexus involved in the issuing of caste certificates.

It is alleged that the fake certificate was used for contesting the MCD election 2022 on the reserve SC women's seat of Sultanpuri ward.

The trial court had observed, "The manner in which the blurred and illegible documents were uploaded at the time of submitting the application form and the rules which were flouted by the concerned authorities at Gautambudh Nagar, UP in issuing the certificate reveals that it could be a big nexus in which several persons were involved."

Bobi Kinner has moved anticipatory bail application after not getting relief from the trial court. (ANI)
