A Delhi court Friday issued non-bailable warrants (NBW) against businessman Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, in connection with a money laundering case related to the AgustaWestland chopper scam.
Special Judge Arvind Kumar passed order, while noting ED's submissions that Puri may try to tamper with evidence and influence the witnesses as he already did earlier.
The court noted in its order that the accused's counsel had filed an application before it for impleading him as a party in the ED's application for NBW.
The court, which dismissed Puri's application for impleading him in the matter, said, "It shows that applicant is keeping a watch on court proceedings but does not want to appear before ED to join investigation."
