Harshad Mehta ( हरशद मेहता ) was an Indian stockbroker and is alleged to have
engineered the rise in the BSE stock exchange in the year 1992. Exploiting several
loopholes in the banking system, Harshad and his associates siphoned off funds from
inter-bank transactions and bought shares heavily at a premium across many segments,
triggering a rise in the Sensex. When the scheme was exposed, the banks started
demanding the money back, causing the collapse. He was later charged with 72 criminal
offenses and more than 600 civil action suits were filed against him. He died in 2002 with
many litigations still pending against him.

[edit] Early life


Harshad Shantilal Mehta was born on 29 July in a Gujarati Jain family of modest means.
His early childhood was spent in Mumbai(Kandivali) where his father was a small-time
businessman. Later, the family moved to Raipur in Chattisgarh after doctors advised his
father to move to a drier place on account of his indifferent health. He studied in Holy
Cross Higher Secondary School, Byron Bazar,Raipur, but Raipur could not hold back
Mehta for long and he was back in the city after completing his schooling.
[edit] Stock Market Scandal
Mehta gradually rose to become a stock broker on the Bombay Stock Exchange and lived
almost like a movie star in a 15,000 square feet (1,400 m2) apartment, which had a
swimming pool as well as a golf patch. He also had a taste for flashy cars, which
ultimately led to his downfall. The year was 1990. Years had gone by and the driving
ambitions of a young man in the faceless crowd had been realised. Harshad Mehta was
making waves in the stock market. He had been buying shares heavily since the
beginning of 1990. The shares which attracted attention were those of Associated Cement
Company (ACC). The price of ACC was bid up to Rs 10,000. For those who asked,
Mehta had the replacement cost theory as an explanation. The theory basically argues that
old companies should be valued on the basis of the amount of money which would be
required to create another such company.

Through the second half of 1991, Mehta was the darling of the business media and earned
the sobriquet of the ‘Big Bull’, who was said to have started the bull run. But, where was
Mehta getting his endless supply of money from? Nobody had a clue.

On April 23, 1992, journalist Sucheta Dalal in a column in The Times of India, exposed
the dubious ways of Harshad Metha. The broker was dipping illegally into the banking
system to finance his buying.

The authors explain: “The crucial mechanism through which the scam was effected was
the ready forward (RF) deal. The RF is in essence a secured short-term (typically 15-day)
loan from one bank to another. Crudely put, the bank lends against government securities
just as a pawnbroker lends against jeweller. The borrowing bank actually sells the
securities to the lending bank and buys them back at the end of the period of the loan,
typically at a slightly higher price.”

It was this ready forward deal that Harshad Mehta and his cronies used with great success
to channel money from the banking system.

A typical ready forward deal involved two banks brought together by a broker in lieu of a
commission. The broker handles neither the cash nor the securities, though that wasn’t
the case in the lead-up to the scam.

“In this settlement process, deliveries of securities and payments were made through the
broker. That is, the seller handed over the securities to the broker, who passed them to the
buyer, while the buyer gave the cheque to the broker, who then made the payment to the
seller.

In this settlement process, the buyer and the seller might not even know whom they had
traded with, either being known only to the broker.”
This the brokers could manage primarily because by now they had become market
makers and had started trading on their account. To keep up a semblance of legality, they
pretended to be undertaking the transactions on behalf of a bank.

Another instrument used in a big way was the bank receipt (BR). In a ready forward deal,
securities were not moved back and forth in actuality. Instead, the borrower, i.e. the seller
of securities, gave the buyer of the securities a BR.

As the authors write, a BR “confirms the sale of securities. It acts as a receipt for the
money received by the selling bank. Hence the name - bank receipt. It promises to deliver
the securities to the buyer. It also states that in the mean time, the seller holds the
securities in trust of the buyer.”

Having figured this out, Mehta needed banks, which issue fake BRs, or BRs not backed
by any government securities. “Two small and little known banks - the Bank of Karad
(BOK) and the Metropolitan Co-operative Bank (MCB) - came in handy for this purpose.
These banks were willing to issue BRs as and when required, for a fee,” the authors point
out.

Once these fake BRs were issued, they were passed on to other banks and the banks in
turn gave money to Mehta, obviously assuming that they were lending against
government securities when this was not really the case. This money was used to drive up
the prices of stocks in the stock market. When time came to return the money, the shares
were sold for a profit and the BR was retired. The money due to the bank was returned.

The game went on as long as the stock prices kept going up, and no one had a clue about
Mehta’s modus operandi. Once the scam was exposed though, a lot of banks were left
holding BRs which did not have any value - the banking system had been swindled of a
whopping Rs 4,000 crore. When the scam was finally revealed, the Chairman of the
Vijaya Bank committed suicide by jumping from the office roof because he knew that if
people come to know about his involvement in issuing cheques to Harshad Mehta, people
would accuse him.

Mehta made a brief comeback as a stock market guru, giving tips on his own website as
well as a weekly newspaper column. This time around, he was in cahoots with owners of
a few companies and recommended only those shares. This game, too, did not last long.[1]

Interestingly, by the time he died, Mehta had been convicted in only one of the many
cases filed against him.

Till now, the real story behind the entire scam is unknown. The recent Hindi movie
'Gafla' showed this scam in a different perspective.[2]

Abdul Karim Telgi


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. See the talk page
for details. WikiProject India or the India Portal may be able to help recruit an
expert. (September 2008)

Abdul Karim Telgi (born 1961), son of late Sharifabee Ladsaab Telgi (mother)[1], is a
convicted-counterfeiter from India. He earned money to the tune of several billion US
dollars by printing counterfeit stamp paper in India. The scale of his operation and scam
can only be matched by the stock market scam of the early 1990s in India done by late
Big Bull Harshad Mehta and by the money-laundering scam of Hasan Ali Khan.

[edit] Biography
[edit] Birth & Early Career

Born to an employee of Indian Railways in 1961, Telgi was left to fend for himself at an
early age after his father's death. He paid for his own education at Sarvodaya Vidyalaya,
an English medium school, by selling fruit and vegetables on trains.[2] He completed his
B.Com from a Belgaum college. After this, he moved to Saudi Arabia. Seven years later,
he returned to India and began to work as a travel agent.
[edit] Arrest

Telgi was arrested in 1991 by Mumbai police for fraud. During his subsequent prison
sentence, he reportedly learned the art of forgery from an expert. He was released and, in
1994, acquired a stamp paper licence from the Government of India.

[edit] Counterfeiting career

He began printing fake stamp paper. He appointed 300 people as agents who sold the
fakes to bulk purchasers, including banks, FIs, insurance companies, and share-broking
firms. His monthly profits have been estimated as being in the neighbourhood of Rs 202
crore (slightly more than US $40 million).

The size of the scam was estimated to be more than 43,000 Cr Rupees.[3]

The Telgi case brought corruption in the Karnataka police force to light, causing a
national scandal in India.[2] A videotape emerged in September 2006 of Abdul Karim
Telgi taking a Narco Analysis test. Under the influence of the supposed truth serum,
Telgi is said to have blurted out the names of Nationalist Congress Party leaders Sharad
Pawar and Chaggan Bhujbal. Pawar has never been publicly linked to the case, but was
forced to go public with a denial.

On 17 January 2006, Telgi and several associates were sentenced to ten years' rigorous
imprisonment.[4]

On June 28, 2007 Telgi was sentenced to rigorous imprisonment [5] for 13 years and fined
a whopping Rs 202 crore on various counts in one of the main cases of the scandal. Hours
after Telgi pleaded guilty and repented his actions, Judge Chitra Bedi of a special court
pronounced the quantum of punishment under various sections of the IPC and the
Maharashtra Control of Organised Crimes Act. This is the harshest punishment given to
Telgi in any of the fake stamp paper cases he has been convicted for so far in
Maharashtra and Karnataka. Honorable Judge Chitra Bedi observed that she had taken a
"lenient view" since Telgi, who is in judicial custody in Pune, had pleaded guilty and also
because of his health. Telgi is HIV positive.

Honorable Judge Chitra Bedi sentenced 42 other accused in the case, who too had
pleaded guilty, to rigorous impriosnment for up to six years and imposed fines on them.
CBI counsel Raja Thakare moved an application in the court seeking the confiscation of
Telgi's property to recover the fine slapped on him. Telgi, who broke down earlier in the
day while pleading guilty, thanked the judge for "giving him justice."

[edit] MovieFilm
Wikinews has related news: Abdul Karim Telgi
Mudrank (The Stamp) is a film based on his life, though it has not yet been released[6] as
Telgi was unhappy with Mudrank[7]. The movie-film is expected and will release soon.

As of 2010, it has been reported by various sources that the film has
been cancelled.

Producer- Vishal srivastava. Pune

[edit] Allegations of attempts to elimination by Police


It has been alleged that Indian Police wants to eliminate Telgi. It is also alleged that Telgi
contracted HIV/AIDS while in police custody[8].

Hasan Ali Khan


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article may need to be updated. Please update this article to reflect recent
events or newly available information, and remove this template when finished.
Please see the talk page for more information. (March 2010)

Hasan Ali Khan or Syed mohammed Hassan Ali Khan[1] is a 56-year-old stud-farm
owner based in India and allegedly worth USD 8-9 billion or more according to police-
authorities. Some news-sources claim that he might be the fourth richest person in India,
surpassing even software czar Azim Premji.[2].

Disclosing the list of defaulters in the Rajya Sabha on 4th August 2009, the Minister of
State for Finance S S Palanimanickam said in a written reply that Hassan Ali Khan tops
the list of tax defaulters with an outstanding arrear of more than Rs 50,000 crore. [3]
Former Union Minister and BJP MP Arun Shourie said that Ali Khan has been known to
be connected to underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, known to have been channeling very
large amounts from unknown sources into the Indian stock market and had 8 to 9 billion
dollars in the UBS and other banks of Switzerland, and has been responsible for hawala
transactions of over Rs. 35,000 crore through Swiss banks.[4] When asked if Hassan Ali is
likely to be arrested, India Today editor Prabhu Chawla said that he doesn't "have much
hope" citing that getting Swiss banks to disclose details is not easy as India hasn't signed
a treaty with the Swiss government.[5]

[edit] Claims and allegations


[edit] Money laundering

Officers in investigating agencies in India claimed that this stud farm owner could be the
latest unknown rich businessman on the block. His wealth is said to be in the region of
anything between USD 8-9 billion or much more, and most of it unaccounted[6]. He
allegedly stashed US$ 8 billion in his Swiss bank accounts (mostly in UBS[7][8]) through
money-laundering. His wife Reema and her brother Faisal Abbas have allegedly helped
him hide since 2007. Philip Anandraj has received an order for the release of his passport
from the Mumbai special court for the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) last
week, this was further enhanced by the High Court in Mumbai. The HC has told
authorities to hand over Anandaraj's passport by December 7th. Khan's lawyer Majid
Memon said "his client was not in touch with him" as of 17 August 2008[9]. He was a
Pune-resident and horse trading circles describe him as a smart punter but a small time
horse owner[10]. Some newspaper-reports cite that total Indian black money is around
US$1,410 billion [11][12][13][14]

Along with his partner Kashinath Tapuriah, Ali allegedly opened two fictitious
companies Autumn Holdings and Paysons in the Virgin Islands and laundered money to
the tune of US $280 million.[15]

A year after he was raided, the US $8 billion man still roams free i.e. he has not been
arrested till date.[16]

The reluctance of these top Swiss banks mentioned above to help Indian investigators is
slowing the unravelling of an intricate multinational trail of money transfers—across
Switzerland, New York, the British Virgin Islands and Pune—between an Indian horse
owner and a fugitive Saudi arms dealer, according to officials in the Enforcement
Directorate, the government body that investigates economic crimes. Investigators from
the ED, who recently claim to have found $8 billion in the Swiss bank accounts of Hasan
Ali Khan, say they now have evidence of a $300 million transfer to him (via a Chase
Manhattan bank account in New York) from billionaire Saudi arms dealer Adnan
Khashoggi, whose arms supplies to Tamil terrorists, the LTTE, were revealed during an
investigation into the 1991 assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. The government has told the
Bombay high court that the Khans are “virtually absconding” and if they are allowed to
leave India, investigations could collapse. Khan’s counsel, Milind Sathe, said his client
“regularly appeared before the Directorate”. Asked where Khan was, his main lawyer,
Mugdha Jadhav, said: “Can’t tell you, sorry.” [17]

[edit] Other allegations

Police sources in Hyderabad aver that he had also laid hands on some jewellery of the
family of Nizams and siphoned them off. "There is no police complaint on this because
much of the Nizam's riches have gone missing over the years," sources said. The value of
the jewellery he pilfered is not known and neither the parties that he sold them to.[18]

He has 10 cases lodged against him ,ranging from cheating to con games to extortion.
There a case of in which he is suspected of throwing, or arranging to throw acid on a
paediatrician Dr. P Niranjan Rao of Punjagutta in Hyderabad. By the time he got into the
havala business, he was a well known but shady figure.[19]

His first hawala operation came unstuck. He was tasked to get back into the country
monies of a deadman locked up in a Singapore bank. Though he failed he came in contact
with a bigger operator called Kanti Das Tapadia (sic).[20]

Adnan Khashoggi transferred US $300 million from his Chase Manhattan Bank account
in New York into Hassan Ali's United Bank of Switzerland account in Zurich. The Swiss
authorities froze the account saying that the Funds were from weapons sale. Ali and his
close associate Kashinath Tapuriah then adopted different techniques to try and make this
account operational. The link to Khashoggi adds a new dimension to the investigation
into Ali. Khashoggi is known in India as one of those named in the Jain Commisison of
enquiry into the Rajiv Gandhi Assassination and globally for brokering arms deals
between the US and Saudi Arabia. Investigators say that this only convinces them of Ali's
wide range of operations and contacts.[21]

[edit] Convictions and court-cases

The oldest case against Hasan Ali pertained to an acid attack on a doctor, his neighbour,
in 1984. Dr P Niranjan Rao's face was disfigured and he had to undergo 30 surgeries.
Since the police could not trace the records relating to the case, it is not clear whether
Hasan Ali was arrested and acquitted in this case.[22]

Khan was arrested, convicted, but subsequently acquitted in some bank-fraud and similar
fraud cases amounting to Rs. 2 crore (USD 500,000) in the early 1990s.[23] What
happened: In 1990, the manager of State Bank of India, Charminar branch, had lodged a
complaint stating that Hasan Ali had fraudulently withdrawn a total of Rs 26 lakh on
three occasions against cheques that later bounced. A similar case was lodged for
defrauding the Grindlays Bank. In September 1991, the central government had
announced an amnesty scheme wherein it allowed Indian citizens to get foreign exchange
from outside. Subsequently at least four persons approached Hasan Ali, who promised
them demand drafts in dollars. He had allegedly collected Rs 10.35 lakh from Suresh
Mehta, Rs 6.29 lakh from Rajesh Gupta, Rs 36 lakh from T Ramnath and Rs 18.22 lakh
from P Rama Koteswara Rao. He then produced 'international money orders' and handed
over demand drafts to them to encash the dollars. However, the customers found the DDs
to be fake and lodged complaints with the police in 1992. He was subsequently acquitted
and a police commissioner said, "No case is pending against him as all the previous cases
were disposed of by the courts."[24]

Khan now faces a whooping Rs 1 L cr fine for acquiring Rs 36000 crores or more in
assets[25][26].

[edit] Current enquiry

As of 13 April 2010, a letter rogatory is to be issued by the magistrate’s court in India to


the Swiss police, which will present it to the authorities in Switzerland. The Swiss court
will decide whether the request by the Indian authorities is to be complied with. Ever
since the I-T authorities raided his premises in 2007, it has been speculated that the
money allegedly deposited by Mr Khan in Swiss Banks in fact belonged to
politicians and industrialists and that Mr Khan was only a conduit who facilitated
the transfer of the money from India, apparently on a commission basis.[27]

[edit] Biography
Hailing from a Hyderabadi family based at Musheerabad, Hasan Ali has a brother and
four sisters.[28] Born in 1953 and brought up in Hyderabad, Khan lived with his wife
Mahbooba Khan in the posh Banjara Hills before he divorced her and shifted to Pune 10
years ago after marrying his present wife Rheema, sister of a horse-trainer, Faisal Abbas.
The couple have a six-year-old son. Better known in the racing circles as H.A. Khan, he
owns 10 horses, besides two floors in the swanky Tulip Apartments of Valentina Society
in Pune's Koregaon Park and a flat in Anand Darshan building in the upmarket Peddar
Road in Mumbai. He also owns two Mercedes and a Porsche.[29]

Come horse-racing season, and Khan would shuttle between Pune and Mumbai. A
pastime associated with the rich and famous, horse-racing was Khan's obsession as well,
though he was not inclined to hobnob with the glitterati of the race course. A rather
quaint figure, he could be seen occupying the last corner seats with wife Rheema. Even
his horses gave the spotlight a miss, garnering only a few second-rung trophies. Khan's
routine at the race course was without deviation. Fitted out in his trademark Safari suit,
he would reach sharp at 11 am and leave by 3 pm. For someone who the i-t Department
claims enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle, Khan wasn't even famous within the racing
circles. "Of our members, he kept the most low profile, preferring not to interact with
anyone," says Vivek Jain, committee member of the Royal Western India Turf Club
(RWITC) at Mumbai. Low-key in life, he displayed a modest taste when acquiring
thoroughbreds, opting for the comparatively cheap grade four variety priced between Rs
15,000 and Rs 1 lakh. He did not own any stud farm, instead preferring to pay
maintenance charges of Rs 15,000 per horse to the RWITC and the Pune Turf Club. Jain
finds it incredible that he could have made money through betting. If not betting, then
what? That's the question dogging the I-T Department.[30]

Swiss connections of the horse-owner came to light during raids at his Pune and Mumbai
residences between January 5 and 7 by the Income Tax (I-T) Department and the
Enforcement Directorate (ED). A laptop seized from the Mumbai address, together with
Rs 85 lakh in cash, sent the 53-year-old Khan scurrying to Pune's Jehangir Hospital with
severe chest pain. Not surprising, considering the laptop contained a list of 10 Swiss
Bank accounts reportedly stashed with over Rs 20,000 crore-all of it unaccounted for.
According to I-T sources, the money came from hawala transactions Khan conducted for
politicians and businessmen. "He was a hawala operator who shipped funds abroad to
countries like Mauritius and Madagascar and then re-routed the money to India through
bogus companies in order to evade tax," an official said, requesting anonymity. Links
with terrorists and the underworld are also not being ruled out. The cash, it is suspected,
was being parked by Arabs who, after the 9/11 World Trade Center bombings, were
finding it difficult to invest with European and UK banks.[31]

[edit] Personal life

Hailing from a Hyderabadi family based at Musheerabad, Hassan Ali has a brother and
four sisters. His father was an excise-officer. He married his first wife Mahboobunnissa
Begum, already the mother of two children and wife of his friend, who went to the US to
try out his luck at earning wealth and entrusted Hassan the task of looking after his family
in his absence, for whom he was a tuition teacher. He more than performed this task, by
seducing his friend's wife and probably marrying her. He begot from her a son, Sameer,
who grew up with the other 2 children of Mehboobunnissa, whom Hassan was dutifully
looking after and providing for. He even got 'his' elder daughter married off in a good
Muslim family in Banjara Hills. He was well known in the local Hyderabadi society out
of fear, due to his alleged contacts and was said to be invited to every do at the Raj
Bhavan, where he came in contact with the then police commissioner - K.S.N.Moorthy -
aka 'Gabbar Singh', keeping him in 'very good books' and exploiting the contact to the hilt
to his nefarious advantage. From his humble parental abode at Mushirabad, he moved to
Shahjahan Apartments in Khairatabad, exploiting his acqaintances all the way and
building up his wealth/empire, by cheating all and sundry. He ran a car rental agency as a
front in Shahjahan Apartments and also conducted a 'Kishore Kumar Nite' at Nizam
College Grounds, Hyderabad, cheating even the legendary Kishore Kumar and his
neighbours in Shahjahan Apartments, on the pretext of financing this venture. He came in
touch with Mr.S.A.Alam, manager of State Bank of India, Charminar Branch, Hyderabad
and with the help of his alleged joint acquaintances - P.R.Khan and Azad Khan, in the
guise of export business, defrauded Citibank and Grindlays Bank through the offices of
Mr.Alam, who lost his job because of Hassan, but could not do anything. He moved to
the posh Banjara Hills area and kept on acquiring properties forcibly from gullible
people. His 'first' wife still stays in the Indralok Apartments at Banjara Hills. The alleged
divorce to Mehboob is only to keep his second wife Reema, happy. Reema belongs to the
famous 'Poonavala' family and it was on their insistence that he went through this
formality of divorcing Mehboob in 1999. Mahboobunnissa also owns another palatial
house in Banjara Hills, which Hassan had promised as a Corporate Office to Jasmine
Thalia Mobiles, later taken over by Bharti/Airtel, who were beginning their operations in
India in the early 90s, cheating these Swedish guys also wholesale. Hassan's biological
son, Samir Khan , has turned into a professional model and is doing quite well. He later
married his current wife Rheema Khan (the daughter of a horse trainer: Abbas A Abbas),
who is also said to have offshore banking accounts.

[edit] Small beginnings to commanding heights

Khan has an unsavoury past. This is going by his record in Hyderabad, where he lived till
the mid-nineties. There are two sparingly varying accounts:

• According to Khan’s account to investigating agencies, his father was an excise


officer in Hyderabad, where Khan studied till Class 12, and went on to sell
antiques, claiming to be a descendant of the Nizam’s family. He then started a car
rental service in 1970, before switching, in 1988, to a metal trading business in
Dubai. Khan said this business, called Great Ventures, closed down in 1993.
Meanwhile, Khan entered the world of horse racing in Hyderabad in 1991 with
only two horses. Then in 1994, he began racing at Mumbai’s Mahalaxmi
racecourse, where he also was a punter. Soon, he expanded his horse racing
activities to Pune, Bangalore, Chennai and Delhi. Police say his horses even
began racing in Switzerland and London. Khan has reportedly won four races and
was also a member of the Royal Western India Turf Club (RWITC), Pune.
According to Imtiyaz Sait, a trainer at the RWITC, Khan used to sit alone in a
corner of the members’ enclosure at the racecourse. “None of us knew him well.
He kept to himself,” Sait said. Many of his other ventures were failures. After
closing down the car rental and then a scrap business, Khan started a jewellery
shop in Kuwait in partnership with a man called Hussain from Jammu and
Kashmir in 2006-07. Pune Police say they interrogated Khan in March 2007 soon
after his name appeared in the media for his alleged involvement in the multi-
crore hawala racket. [32]

• According to other people’s account to investigating agencies, as his family had


fallen on bad times in the 1970s, he started out as a tuitions teacher but
subsequently started cheating people and banks. He was also a suspect in a case of
throwing acid on a doctor in the city and in a hawala racket case. From being a
trickster, he graduated to be a cheat and then a bank scamster. From there he
became a hawala operator and ultimately an international money laundering
racketeer, people who have known him in Hyderabad told TOI. People who know
him from the 70s said his family had fallen on bad times and he had begun giving
tuitions.[33]
From a humble beginning as a punter at the Mahalaxmi race course in Mumbai, Khan
soon became a horse owner and was even involved in several failed ventures: a travel
agency, a car-wash plant that never took off, a metal trading company named Great
Ventures that went bankrupt and a business in selling artefacts. When trading in artefacts,
he would claim to be a descendent of the royal Nizams and try to pass off white marble
statues from Makrana of recent origin as antiques. His legally viable ventures would
inevitably perish. It was during this time that Khan came in contact with Kashinath
Tapadia, son-in-law of the late Priyamvada Birla of the Birla business house. I-T sources,
who have also questioned Tapadia, claim the duo ran the hawala business as partners and
the money was routed through Tapadia to the beneficiaries. The two also allegedly
donned the mantle of invisible investors in Indian equity markets. Sources say Khan used
Participatory notes to invest in the capital and commodity markets. (Participatory notes
can be traded like stocks and sold as notes. These transactions are, at times, untraceable.)
Among his close associates was hotelier Phillip Anandraj, who owns the Korma Sutra in
Zurich. Anandraj, who was interrogated by the ED, is known for his political connections
and, say sources, could have been involved in the hawala racket. [34]

Khan first opened an account with UBS Singapore in 1982 with just $1.5 million and
after some time received $300m in this account allegedly from Khashoggi’s Chase
Manhattan bank account in New York. Why this bank-transfer was made is unknown [35]
Khan has been given one month’s time to reply to a show-cause notice to explain how his
funds grew from an initial deposit of $1.5 million in 1982 to a balance of $8 billion by
2006.[36]

[edit] Relationship with Adnan Khashoggi

The ED has traced Khan’s alleged transaction with Adnan Khashoggi through a notarized
statement of Khan signed on 29 June, 2003 in London. The document contains a letter
written by Khan to Prabhu Guptara, director, Organizational Development, Woflsberg
Executive Development Centre, Switzerland (a subsidiary of UBS), explaining why one
of his Swiss accounts had been tagged with the remark: ‘Funds from weapons sales’, and
had been made inoperable. The letter explained the circumstances in which Khan first
opened an account with UBS Singapore in 1982 with $1.5 million, through Retro
Hartmann of UBS Singapore and then how allegedly Dr Peter Weilly, porfolio manager
of Khashoggi, virtually took over as his manager. Khan had received $300m in this
account allegedly from Khashoggi’s Chase Manhattan bank account in New York. After
the document was notarized by a UK notary on June 29, 2003, Khan seems to have
allegedly reported his Indian passport as lost in London and acquired a new passport
there. A copy of the first page of the old passport is enclosed with the notarised
document. The probe has also thrown up ‘evidence’ against Khan’s associate Kashinath
Tapuria, who has said that two politicians, one of them a senior Congressman, had
referred Khan to him during his days of financial difficulties.[37]
[edit] How his bank account swelled

Evidence from a June 2003 document recovered by the agencies, duly notarised by the
Notary Public of London[38][39]

• Khan had started an account with a deposit of $1.5 million with UBS Singapore in
1982.[40] The recommendation for opening the specified bank-account was organised by
Dr Peter Weilly through arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi, whose portfolio was handled by
Weilly

• A payment of $240 million (allegedly from Adnan Khashoggi's Chase Manhattan Bank
account in New York)[41] was approved by Weilly and accepted by Reto Hartman at UBS
Singapore

• After the $240 million transaction, the account moved from UBS Singapore to UBS
Zurich in 1986

• By December 1997, the deposit amount reached $560 million. Due to certain problems,
Khan could not operate this account (Swiss authorities froze the account saying that the
"Funds were from weapons sale.")[42]

• By 1999, the same account mysteriously increased to $969 million (~ US$ 1 billion).
Most of this money is lying as liquid cash and bonds[43]

• As on August 31 2006, the balance in the account was US$6.6 billion

• Balance as on November 2, 2006: $7.7 billion

• Balance as on December 8, 2006: $8.04 billion

ED’s findings included Khan’s plan to finance a $500 million project of Khashoggi that
was contained in a notarized document signed by him on 29 June 2003 in London. A
notarized document is certified by a licensed public officer who serves as an impartial
witness and establishes the authenticity of the signatures. The two transfers of $1.6
billion and $7 million that are said to have come to light recently were carried out in
November 2006 through correspondent banking, an arrangement where one bank makes
or receives payments on behalf of another. The money was transferred from Bank Sarasin
to a US branch of Citibank NA, then to Barclays Plc in the UK and finally deposited in a
firm in the UK. ED is now conducting fresh inquiries into the matter. Khan has
challenged the tax authority’s demand for unpaid taxes in the income tax appellate
tribunal. The case will come up for hearing on 21 July 2010.[44]

[edit] Personal life


Madhu Koda is married to Geeta, who is contesting from the Jagannathpur assembly seat
on a Jharkhand Navnirman Morcha ticket in the ongoing assembly polls. But, Koda's
father Rasika said: "I do not support my daughter-in-law Geeta's entry into politics. After
all, Jharkhand politics comprises the same set of corrupt people."[1]

Madhu Koda's father is Rasika Koda, a 62-year-old tribal farmer, who lives in Patahatu -
where Madhu Koda was born - in West Singhbhum. He feels his "son's decision to join
politics was a mistake". Rasika says, "I had tried to convince him not to join politics, but
he said he wanted to 'serve the country and society'. How could I stop him from doing so?
He had been sleepless since he joined politics and his thoughts were a chaos. It landed
him in controversy." His father Rasika, a former employee of the Indian Iron and Steel
Co who now tends to his little agricultural plot, said: "I don't believe he has amassed so
much money. The investigation will unearth the truth. I am sure he was in bad
company."[2]. This, in response to the reported Rs 4000 crore (about USD 1 Billion)and
has more than 1800 banks accounts in all over the world he has amassed via a massive
corruption scandal.375 crore transaction in swiss bank in greece (athens)....AP

Koda's life reads like a rags-to-riches tale from Bollywood. His father forced him to give
up college because there wasn't enough money and ordered the "young Madhu to find a
job to fend for the family". A disillusioned Koda, who wanted to join the army , became a
labourer instead in an iron mine at Gua. He lugged lumps of iron ore for a promised sum
of Rs.20.50 per day. Koda harboured memories of corruption and exploitation at the
mines. "They would get our thumb impressions against payments of Rs.20.50 and
would pay us Rs.16.hewas also pulled autorickshaw. It left an impression on me," he
had told the media.[3]

His modest lifestyle (sic) is believed to be a "result of his Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh
(RSS) grooming". He contested the 1996 polls on a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) ticket.
He later won the Jagannathpur seat in West Singhbhum in the 2000 assembly polls as a
BJP candidate.[4]

His younger brother is Rajesh, a contractor in the West Singhbhum mines, who also
echoed father Rasika. "My brother is a target of non-tribal politicians," he said.[5]

[edit] Labourer to Chief Minister


Outlook India quotes:

From a labourer to the Chief Minister's chair and now the district jail here --
“ life seems to be eventful for former Jharkhand chief minister Madhu Koda,
arrested by the state Vigilance department for allegedly illegally amassing
wealth to the tune of several hundred crores of rupees.

A farmer's son who grew up in a West Singhbhum village of the state away
from the glitzy life that he now lives, 38-year-old Koda was a labourer who
worked in the mines till the early 1990's.

What changed his life forever was his decision to join politics where he has
had a meteoric rise to the top post of the state. He joined the BJP in 1994 and
finally made his way to get a Bihar Assembly election ticket in 2000.

He became a minister after Jharkhand was formed later in the same year.
Since then, there has been no looking back for Koda.

As a minister in both the Babulal Marandi government and the Arjun Munda
government (2003 to 2005), Koda carved out his mine portfolio which gave
him control over the state's mineral wealth.

After being denied a ticket by BJP in 2005, he quit and fought as an


independent only to support the BJP-led government formed after the
election.

However, this time he really had a plan in mind and accordingly, in 2006, he
and three other independents withdrew support, bringing down the
government.

He thus became the first Independent chief minister of the state after getting
support from the Congress, RJD and JMM's Shibu Soren.

Even as chief minister, Koda kept the mining portfolio with him, which the
agencies now claim was the money spinner.

Koda, now a Member of Parliament, is alleged to have made huge


investments abroad and even bought mines in Liberia through his close
confidantes. ”
[edit] Political career
Madhu Koda began his political career as an activist with the All Jharkhand Students
Union.He won in the 2000 Assembly elections from Jaganathpur as a Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) candidate. In the government headed by Chief Minister Babulal Marandi,
Madhu became the Panchayati Raj Minister. He subsequently held this post when Arjun
Munda took over the reins in 2003.

During the 2005 Assembly Elections in Jharkhand, the BJP denied Koda a ticket. He
contested as an Independent candidate and won from Jaganathpur once again, defeating
his nearest rival from the Indian National Congress by over ten thousand votes. With a
fractured mandate in the state, Koda agreed to support a BJP-led government led by
Arjun Munda, taking over as the Minister of Mines and Geology.

In September 2006, Madhu and three other independent legislators withdrew support to
the Munda government, bringing it into the minority. In the subsequent period, the
opposition United Progressive Alliance decided on him as consensus candidate to
become Chief Minister. His government included the representatives of the Jharkhand
Mukti Morcha, Rashtriya Janata Dal, Jaua Manjhi group, Nationalist Congress Party, All
India Forward Bloc, three independent MLAs (besides himself), and the outside support
of the Indian National Congress. The CPI(ML) Communist Party of India (Marxist-
Leninist) Liberation MLA Vinod Singh refused to support the Koda Government,
refuting Koda's claims of having secured his support.

Koda resigned on August 23, 2008.[6]

[edit] Controversies
[edit] Money-laundering and mining scam

On 10th Oct 2009, he was charged with laundering money worth over Rs. 4000 crores.[7]
In nationwide raids by the Enforcement Directorate, assets allegedly worth Rs. 4000
crore — almost a fifth of the annual budget of the state he once ruled — were unearthed.
Among others, these assets were reported to include hotels and three companies in
Mumbai, property in Kolkata, a hotel in Thailand, and a coal mine in Liberia.[8] This
alleged scam is said to be the second-largest scam uncovered in India in 2009 and gets his
name included in the list of controversial Indian businessmen (like Hasan Ali Khan and
Harshad Mehta). Minister of State for Home Ajay Maken said that the Central Bureau of
Investigation (CBI) may be asked to probe this scam, in addition to Enforcement
Directorate (ED) and the Income Tax Department[9].

In the probes, it was found that Maoists received a 30% share of the "Koda plunder"[10].
This has led to staunch criticism of Koda from sections of society, including the
oppostition Bharatiya Janata Party. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi stated Koda
was part of a corrupt network of Congress Party who stole money from Jharkhand[11].

[edit] Life in jail

Madu Koda is spending his time in jail like any other prisoner of the Birsa Munda Central
Jail at Hotwar. He remained confined to his room in the upper division ward. Unlike his
fellow arrested corrupt politicians who regularly complain of ill health and high blood
pressure, Koda was normal. "His behaviour was normal and he did not try to create a
scene like his former cabinet colleagues," said a jail official. Koda wakes up around 6.30
in the morning. He later watches news on local TV channels and also goes through
newspapers.[12]

While he was in jail, the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) said that they will also expose
Goa's Madhu Koda during the forthcoming state legislative assembly session.[13][14] BJP
also alleged that state support to illegal mining and corruption in Goa’s mining industry
had reached ‘unacceptable levels’. Mining for low grade iron ore and manganese is one
of the principal industries in the state, fetching nearly Rs.6,000 crore revenue from
exporting the ore to countries like China and Japan. The 100 mines in Goa export nearly
30 million tonnes of iron ore annually.[15]
