New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) Hours after a Delhi court issued a non-bailable warrant against her Monday, entrepreneur Bina Ramani alleged it was a planned move by the police who want her and her daughter to stay away from the ongoing court proceedings relating to the Jessica Lall murder, in which both of them are prime witnesses.

Reacting sharply against the order, Ramani said the police had made false allegations against her and were trying to pressurise her by raking up old cases.

The warrant was issued against her for allegedly using forged documents to claim she was the owner of Tamarind Court in South Delhi and that she had a license to serve liquor there.

Lall, who was filling in as a bartender, was shot at April 4, 1999 when she had allegedly refused to server liquor to Manu Sharma.

Ramani said she enjoyed a favourable relationship with the Diwan Chand family from whom she purchased the land for the restaurant.

"We have all the papers of the deal," Ramani, who is out of the city, told IANS over phone.

"My daughter and I are the key eyewitnesses in the (Jessica) case and police are trying to harass us by raking up this old issue," she said.
