A Delhi court on Tuesday issued non-bailable warrants against Sushil Ansal and Gopal Ansal for allegedly tampering with evidence in the Uphaar cinema hall fire case.

Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Deepak Sherawat issued the NBWs against them.

The court is hearing a case related to the tampering of evidence in the case after Krishnamoorthy, who lost two children in the fire, pressed for an early date contending it was a 10-year-old matter which has been already delayed.

Krishnamoorthy has been fighting a legal battle for the past 20 years.

A fire at the Uphaar cinema during the screening of Hindi film Border on June 13, 1997, had claimed 59 lives.
