Abhinav Garg | TNN | Feb 20, 2019, 05:08 ISTNEW DELHI: The CBI on Tuesday told the Delhi high court that lobbyist Deepak Talwar diverted crores of funds received from abroad by an NGO he once headed. Seeking Talwar’s custody for his interrogation, the agency said the accused violated Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA).
A bench of justices Siddharth Mridul and Anu Malhotra sought response of NGO Advantages India Private Ltd, with which Talwar was earlier associated as its president, on the CBI demand. Talwar is in jail in a money laundering case following his deportation from Dubai on January 30.
The agency had in 2017 lodged a case against the NGO, Talwar and others for alleged offences of criminal conspiracy, forgery and use of forged document as genuine under the IPC and various sections of FCRA. The case was filed for alleged diversion of Rs 90.72 crore worth of foreign funds, meant for ambulances and other articles, received by the NGO from abroad.
