New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate Thursday claimed before a Delhi court that corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar has links with fugitive Vijay Mallya in a money laundering case.
Special Judge S S Mann extended the ED’s custody of Talwar till February 12 after the probe agency said he was to be confronted with his son who is currently abroad and has been summoned by the investigating agency for February 11.
ED had sought extension of custody for Talwar by seven days. The court had earlier allowed ED to quiz him in custody for seven days, after the probe agency alleged that he acted as middleman in negotiations to favour foreign private airlines causing the loss to national carrier Air India.
ED claimed before the court that investigation has revealed Talwar’s links with Mallya, when both the were evading the process of law, and the probe is on to determine the trail of the tained money.
The 62-year-old former Kingfisher Airlines boss, who has been on bail in the UK on an extradition warrant since his arrest in April last year, is fighting extradition to India on charges of fraud and money laundering allegedly amounting to around Rs 9,000 crores.
UK Home Secretary Sajid Javid on Monday had ordered the extradition of Mallya to India, in a major blow to the embattled liquor baron.
The 63-year-old businessman had lost a legal challenge against his extradition in a British court in December. Talwar was deported from Dubai on January 30 and arrested by the agency after landing here. (PTI)
