Biswal had moved a bail plea in the Highcourt on October 3 after being arrested by CBI on September 19. In his bail plea the legislator had stated that the case in which he had been arrested was actually against his wife.

Notably, the Cuttack-Choudwar MLA remained under CBI remand for at least four days till he complained of sickness and was rushed to Capital Hospital on September 22. He was shifted to SCB on September 25 due to further deterioration in health condition.
