Mumbai, February 21

The Special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court today granted bail to Kapil Wadhwan, former chairman and managing director of the troubled Dewan Housing Finance Ltd (DHFL), who was arrested for his alleged links with Iqbal Memon, alias Iqbal Mirchi of the Dawood Ibrahim gang.

While granting bail to Wadhwan on a cash bond of Rs 5 lakh, the Special PMLA court asked him to appear before the Enforcement Directorate when summoned.

Wadhawan (46) was arrested on January 27 by the ED.

Arguing for bail, his lawyers denied that Wadhwan had any links with Mirchi. Subsequently, Wadhwan’s counsel stated that the main accused in the case, Dheeraj Wadhwan, and promoters of Sunblink Real Estate Pvt Ltd, had already been granted bail. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
