Court issues production warrant against corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar's aide

A Delhi court has issued a production warrant against a close aide of corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar in a money-laundering case related to negotiations allegedly favouring foreign private airlines and causing loss to state-owned Air India. Special Judge Anuradha Shukla Bhardwaj has directed the Tihar jail authorities to produce Yasmin Kapoor, a close aide of Talwar, before the court on October 3.

Kapoor is currently in judicial custody in another case lodged by the CBI.

The court, which had last month cancelled the anticipatory bail granted to Kapoor earlier in the money-laundering case, passed the order on an application moved by ED's special public prosecutor Nitesh Rana.

Rana submitted that Kapoor was misusing the bail granted by the court.

Kapoor was granted anticipatory bail by the court on March 22, while Talwar is in judicial custody.
There were reasons to believe that the tainted money, received from the foreign airlines, was used for the acquisition of Kapoor's residential property in New Delhi, ED's lawyer A R Aditya said.
