A Delhi court on Saturday issued a second production warrant against Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s nephew Vinay Bansal, arrested in connection with an alleged scam in the Public Works Department, after Tihar jail authorities failed to produce him before it.
The first production warrant was issued on Friday by Additional Sessions Judge Sanjay Khanagwal, who had also sought an explanation from the Tihar jail superintendent for failing to produce him.
Duty Metropolitan Magistrate Shilpa Jain has sought Mr. Bansal’s presence in the court on Sunday.
Mr. Bansal was hospitalised and sent to one-day judicial remand after he fainted in the courtroom on Thursday, when the court rejected the anti-corruption branch’s plea for his three-day police remand, saying he was not medically fit. Mr. Bansal on Friday moved a bail application, which will be heard on Monday.
