In a setback to CBI and income-tax sleuths, a Dubai court has barred corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar, who is being probed in India for allegedly concealing income of more than Rs 1,000-crore as well as facilitating aviation contracts during the UPA regime, from leaving the country. The Dubai court gave an order on November 29, 2017.
The complaint relates to a dispute over financial transactions held between March and November between Patel and Talwar for their ‘commericial interests’ in Dubai.
Officials in CBI and I-T are intrigued about the timing of the order which will frustrate India’s efforts to bring Talwar back to the country to face the law.
