The Supreme Court has rejected the bail plea of Delhi businessman Harpreet Singh Talwar alias Kabir Talwar, arrested in a drug smuggling case of Rs 21,000 crore at Mundra port. Today (13 May) Justice Suryakant and Justice N. The bench of Kotishwar Singh gave this verdict. The court has refused to grant bail to Harpreet Talwar at present and has allowed them to apply for bail again after six months. Also, the special court was directed to hear twice a month so that the case could be decided soon.
The charge of ‘funding terrorism’ against Talwar seems to be immature at this time. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court reserved its decision on the bail plea in the case on 23 April 2025. Earlier, according to the information given by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the money received from the sale of drugs was being used to financing Lashkar-e-Taiba’s terrorist activities. Harpreet Singh Talwar, who runs some club in Delhi, was arrested by the NIA in August 2022.
