A non-bailable warrant has been issued against Louise Khurshid, wife of former Union minister and Congress leader Salman Khurshid, in a case of misappropriation of over Rs 71 lakh received in central grants by Dr Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust run by her.

Chief Judicial Magistrate Praveen Kumar Tyagi on Tuesday issued a non-bailable warrant against Louise Khurshid and Trust secretary Athar Farooqui.

The court fixed August 16 as the next date for the hearing.

The Trust had in March 2010 received a grant of Rs 71.5 lakh from the central government for the distribution of wheelchairs, tricycles and hearing aids among physically challenged persons in 17 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
