ED claims negotiations with Airbus caused losses to Indian Airlines.ED's counsel Nitesh Rana informed the special judge that British-national Rao was avoiding summons "deliberately and knowingly" and did not appear for investigation.The former Airbus official currently stays in the UK.Corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar is also being tried in the same case by the ED.ED's counsel had earlier told the court that investigation revealed that Deepak Talwar, who is currently lodged in Tihar jail, obtained "undue favours" for private airlines using his contacts.It was also alleged that he had acted as a middleman to favour foreign private airlines in seat-sharing on Air India's profitable routes, causing huge loss to the national carrier.Central agencies are probing various other cases related to money laundering against Deepak Talwar.
