A Delhi court Tuesday sought response from a close aide of corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar on ED's plea seeking to cancel her anticipatory bail in a case related to negotiations favouring foreign private airlines and causing loss to national carrier Air India.
The court issued notice to Yasmin Kapoor and directed her to reply by May 20 on the plea moved by the Enforcement Directorate.
The alleged role of Talwar and Kapoor in some aviation deals during the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance's (UPA) regime at the Centre is under the scanner.
Special Public Prosecutor Nitesh Rana, appearing for the ED, told the court that "The investigation is still ongoing and is at a crucial stage. She (Kapoor) is a key link to unearth the modus operandi adopted by all the accused persons."
