Sonia Dhawan, accused in Paytm case, rejoins company

NEW DELHI: Sonia Dhawan, the former Paytm executive, who was also one of the prime accused in an extortion bid against the Soft-Bank-backed company’s founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma, is believed to have rejoined the company in a surprising turn of events.

Sources within the company told ET that Dhawan, who had spent nearly five months in jail, along with her husband Rupak Jain, had rejoined the company earlier in the week. The former VP of communications and public relations at the company had been granted bail by the Allahabad High Court earlier this month.
