We express regret at the fact that the picture that DailyNews365.com had posted alongside the news article 'Sanjeev Saxena Arrested By Delhi Police' was not of Sanjeev Saxena, the assistant of Samajwadi leader Amar Singh, but his namesake who is the respected CEO at Actis Biologics Inc. Sanjeev Saxena, the CEO, is not associated to the 2008 cash-for-votes scandal in any way. We express our sincere apologies to Mr. Saxena.
