Kinetic Finance Limited Scam - Banks lost about INR Rs.200 Crore equivalent to about US$ 50
Million. The promoters of Kinetic Finance Limited borrowed INR 145 Crore from a consortium of
banks led by SBI and another INR Rs.50 Crore from Bank of Baroda & UTI Mutual Fund. After
borrowing the funds were siphoned off and diverted to other business entities of the Kinetic Group, the
promoters resigned from the company and also changed the name of the company to Athena Financial
Services Limited. A 'special Investigation Audit' was conducted by the consortium in January 2004 and
the report was submitted in February 2004. Based on the Audit Report 5 banks filed criminal cases on
the defaulting promoters alleging fraud, cheating and willful omission and concealment of information
with an intent to defraud the Banks. None of the Public sector banks reported the fraudulent willful
defaults to the CBI/RBI and in a way protected the defaulters. An active connivance of some corrupt
Public Sector Banks' officials can not be denied as they openly flouted the RBI guidelines on fraud
reporting and initiating criminal action against willful defaulters. Defaulter were unable to get any
relief from Bombay High Court and Supreme Court. More than 10 Banks have continuously reported
the name of Mr. Arun H Firodia (Chairman) and his daughter Ms. Sulajja Firodia Motwani, to CIBIL at
www.suit.cibil.com as willful defaulers from March 2005 to March 2012. Despite having the status of a
declared willful defaulter Mr. Arun H Firodia has been awarded the Padma Shri Award in 2012. A
leading online financial journal of India moneylife.in has exposed the matter in full details based on an
RTI reply received by an RTI activist.[]. At present the matter is under the scanner of investigating /
intelligence agencies of India. [242]

Jalgaon rape case 1994- A group of influential politicians, businessmen and officials are accused of
running a long-running forced-sex racket on a huge scale in this town in the state of Maharashtra,
involving 300-500 women many of whom are school-going minors and often beloging to well-off
families. [234]
Maharashtra BMC scam - Rs.750 crore (US$138.8 million) MUMBAI: Road contracts approved by the
BMC are under the scanner yet again. Following serious strictures passed by the Comptroller and
Auditor General (CAG) on the extent and nature of cost escalations, CM Prithviraj Chavan on
Wednesday hinted that he may order a probe and added that fresh provisions introducing a cap on

maximum cost escalations permissible for a contract will be imposed. Earlier, there was a furore in the
state cabinet meeting on CAG reports over the functioning of the BMC and other urban bodies. In
BMC's case, the CAG has objected to payments worth Rs 750 crore, including cost escalation worth Rs
702 crore in road contracts and octroi evasion worth Rs 47 crore. Public works department minister
Chhagan Bhujbal termed these variations as an act of corruption. R R Patil (NCP) and Naseem Khan
(Congress) also demanded a probe. U D principal secretary Srikant Singh pointed to the absence of a
cap on variations. CAG reports for the civic bodies in Nagpur and Nashik were also discussed. The
CAG report will be placed in the winter session of the assembly. [233]
Maharashtra stamp duty scam - Rs.640 crore (US$115.84 million) [232]
Maharashtra land scam Rs.60000 crore (US$10.71 billion) [] Abdul Karim Telgi cited Pawar's name in
relation to the Rs.60000 crore (US$10.71 billion) stamp-paper scam, during a narcoanalysis filmed by
various Indian news channels, wherein he also mentioned Chhagan Bhujbal
In 2007, the BJP asked for Pawar's resignation after alleging he was involved in a multi-crore scam
involving wheat imports. In May 2007 a tender floated by the Food Corporation of India for
procurement of wheat was cancelled when the lowest bid received was for 263 USD/ton. The
government subsequently allowed private traders to purchase wheat directly from farmers that year
resulting in a paucity of wheat to stock FCI granaries. By July 2007 the shortage at FCI was large
enough to require import of wheat at a much higher price of 320360 USD/ton. Taking advantage of
this, traders who had domestically purchased wheat at Rs.900 INR/ton earlier, were now offering the
same to FCI at Rs.1,300 INR/ton.[]
On October 27, 2007, the Bombay High Court served notices to institutions headed by Sharad Pawar,
Ajit Pawar and Sadanand Sule (Sharad Pawar's son-in-law) along with a corresponding notice served to
the Maharashtra Krishna Valley Development Corporation (MKVDC) on why special privileges were
given to Pawar and his family. This was done in consideration of a Public Interest Litigation No. 148 of
2006, filed by Shamsunder Potare alleging that the land said allocations in Pune, made in 2002, were
illegal. The institutions and properties mentioned include:
Two 141.15-acre (0.5712 km2) plots given allotted to Vidya Pratishthan, an educational society headed
by Sharad Pawar
A 2-acre (8,100 m2) plot allotted to Anant Smriti Pratishthan, headed by Ajit Pawar, the Maharashtra
state minister for irrigation and Sharad Pawar's nephew
A 130,000 square metre (32.12 acre) plot allotted to Lavasa Corporation, owned by Sadanand Sule,
Sharad Pawar's son-in-law at the time. He handed over his stake in 2006.
A 1-acre (4,000 m2) plot allotted to Shivajinagar Agriculture College
A 3-acre (12,000 m2) plot allotted to Sharadchandraji Scout and Guide Training Institute
These allocations were made allegedly under NCP leader and minister Ramraje Naik Nimbalkar who
was in charge of MKVDC at the time.[] Sharad Pawar was served a contempt of court notice on May 1,
2008 in connection with this case for issuing statements to the press even though the matter was
subjudice at the time, that was later rejected by the court. Also in connection with the case, the
respondents were directed not to create third-party interests in the property under dispute and to
undertake any developments at their own risk.[]
In 2011, Sharad Pawar declared his assets to be worth 12 crore as part of a mandatory disclosure, but
his critics claimed that his wealth far exceeded the stated amount.[] In 2010, it was alleged that the
Pawar family indirectly held a 16% stake in the City Corporation, which had bid 1176 crore for the IPL
Pune franchise. Pawar and his family denied the allegations, but the IPL bidder's board resolution
contradicted their claims. [231]

As the Cabinet Minister for Agriculture, Pawar was consistently accused of being incapable of handling
the extreme hike in prices of agricultural produce:
Wheat import in 2007 Bombay High Court issued notices to Union agriculture minister Sharad
Pawar, questioning the decision to import defective red wheat and to submit details of procurement of
the crop from different states and the exact process of importing it. [230]
Sugar prices in 2009 Opposition parties, including the BJP and the CPI(M) accused Sharad Pawar of
engineering a steep rise in the price of sugar to the advantage of hoarders and importers. [229]
Sugar Import (1994) :- As food minister, Kalpnath Rai presided over the import of sugar at a price
higher than that of the market, causing a loss of Rs 650 crore to the exchequer. He resigned following
the allegations. [228]
Onion prices in 201011 The opposition have accused him to be responsible on the same issue. [227]
Big Cash in US$ Scam in Boston (USA) {$ 1,60,000 } Name on your Passport is RAUL VINCI
WHY ONLY HIGHLIGHT THIS ARREST?
Dear Rahul, to refresh your memory, you were arrested/ detained by the FBI at the BOSTON Airport in
September 2001. You were carrying with you $ 1,60,000 in Cash. You couldn't explain why you were
carrying so much Cash.
incidentally he was with his Columbian girlfriend Veronique Cartelli, ALLEGEDLY, the Daughter of
Drug Mafia. For 9 HOURS he was kept at the Airport. Later then freed on theintervention of the then
Prime Minister Mr. Vajpayee.. FBI filed an equivalent of an FIR in US and released him.
When FBI was asked to divulge the information, by Right/Freedom to Information Activists about the
reasons Rahul was arrested ... FBI asked for a NO OBJECTION CERTIFICATE from Rahul Gandhi.
So SubramaniyamSwami wrote a Letter to Rahul Gandhi, " If you have NOTHING to HIDE, Give us
the Permission"
HE NEVER REPLIED!
Why did that arrest not make Headlines Rahul? You could have goneto the Media and told, "I am
ashamedto call myself an INDIAN?". Or is it that, you only do like to highlight Symbolic Arrests (like
in UP) and not Actual Arrests (In BOSTON) Kindly Clarify.....In any case, you want to feelashamed,

Reddy to bury the report as well as the probe, as action would have brought down the Kiran Reddy

KG Basin Oil scam- Reliance Industries Ltd. (RIL) Rs.43,000 crore (US$7.96 billion) LEGAL
PROVISIONS : The CAG has rightly hit back, saying it would audit not merely the accounts, but
everything impinging on the accounts. Passing a special legislation in 1971, Parliament had taken a
conscious decision to extend the scope of
CAG audit to include performance audit.
CLAW-BACK CLAUSE : When RIL sold a part of its stake in the KG basin to British Petroleum (BP)
a couple of years ago for a whopping $7.5 billion, it raised many eyebrows.
The CAG is apt to examine whether there is a clause in the contract between the GoI and RIL that
permits RIL to sell a part or whole of its stake. And if there is a clause, is there a claw-back clause,
enabling the GoI to lay its hands on a part of the windfall gains made by RIL? [192]

Hasan Ali black money controversy & Tax Rs.50,000 crore (US$892.85 billion)- The most glaring case
of the governments cover up of criminal money stashed abroad relates of course to Pune based stud
farm owner Hassan Ali Khan. Three years have passed since the discovery of his astronomical amount
illegally stashed in foreign banks. In January 2007 raids by the income-tax department revealed he had
USD 8 billion deposited in just one account in the UBS AG bank, Zurich. He has several other foreign
accounts. He had not filed income-tax returns since 1999. The Enforcement Directorate (ED) started
investigation into suspected money laundering. After three years Mukherjee told media last Tuesday
that investigations were still continuing. Meanwhile Hassan Ali walks a free man. Meanwhile,
Mukherjee disclosed that the 8 billion had been diverted from the Zurich bank to an unknown
destination. Regarding information about black money Mukherjee told media: As and when the
Income Tax Authorities will be in a position to prosecute cases against tax evaders you will come to
know". Hassan Ali is not a tax evader. His money in foreign banks comes from crime. Credible foreign

banking sources have disclosed that in collusion with Saudi arms dealer Adnan Kashogi some of Alis
money came from gun running. Did Hassan Ali amass billions of USD that attract tax in India over Rs
70,000 crores from selling horses? If nothing, could not the government have immediately slapped a
disproportionate assets case in addition to money laundering and launched criminal prosecution against
him? [120]

cooperative banks in Maharashtra and Gujarat by a Navi Mumbai-based brokerage firm Home Trade.
Sanjay Agarwal, CEO of the firm, was arrested in May 2002. [89]

Stamp paper scam - Rs.20,000 crore (US$3.62 billion) (2003) :- The sheer magnitude of the racket was
shocking-it caused a loss of Rs 30,000 crore to the exchequer. Disclosures of the mastermind behind it,
Abdul Karim Telgi, implicated top police officers and bureaucrats. [88]
MS SHOES SCAM (1994) Rs. 699 crore (US$199.1 million):- Anyone who war old enough in 1994 to
read will remember the advertisements- tens of them intriguingly headlined: 'Who is Pawan Sachdeva?'
For the record, it was the peak of the public issued-led advertising boom and the ads were created by
the Delhi branch of Rediffusion. Sachdeva, the promoter of MS Shoes, allegedly used company funds
to buy shares (of his own company) and rig prices, prior to a public issue. He is alleged to have
colluded with officials in the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and SBI Caps, which leadmanaged the issue, to dupe the public into investing in his Rs. 699-crore public-***-rights issue.
Sachdeva was later acquitted [87]
Provident Fund (PF) scam [86]
Bofors Pay-Off (1987) :- A Swedish firm was accused of paying Rs 64 crore (US$11.85 million) to
Indian bigwigs, including Rajiv Gandhi, then the prime minister, to secure the purchase of the Bofors
gun. [85]
Kargil coffin scam (2001) [84]
Tehelka Sting (2001) :- Tehelka, an online news portal, used spycams to catch army officers and
politicians accepting bribes, in their sting operation called Operation Westend. Investigative journalism
turned another corner in the country. [83]
MEHTA'S SECOND COMING (1998) :- The Big Bull returned to the bourses. This time, he allegedly
colluded with the promoters of BPL, Videocon International, and Sterile Industries to rig the share
prices of these companies. The inevitable collapse happened sooner than planned, Harshad Mehta
orchestrated a cover-up operation that included a high=jinks effort by officials of Bombay Stock
Exchange to (illegally ) open the trading system in the middle of the night to set things right, but the
damage had been done. SEBI finally passed its ruling on the scam in 2001, banning the three
companies concerned from tapping the market-BPL, for two years. Mehta was debarred for life form
dealing in Securities Appellate Tribunal (SAT) in October 2001 [82]
KETAN PAREKH SCAM (2001) Rs.137 crore (US$32.6 million):- Ketan Parekh's modus operandi
wasn't very different from Harshad Mehta's. If Mehta used banker's receipts, then Parekh used pay
orders to ramp up the prices of his favourite scrips (the K-10). Apart from money form the banking
system Parekh also rerouted money from corporated like HFCL (Rs. 425 crore (US$101.1 million), and
Zee (Rs. 340 crore(US$ 80.9million) to good effect. He was caught when pay-orders issued by
Madhavpura Mercantile Cooperative Bank bounced. Although the total amount involved in the scam
was just Rs. 137 crore, the impact was far greater.
Apparently, when a bear cartel sensed Parekh was in trouble, it stepped in and leveraged a dip in the
NASDAQ to bear down stock prices. The resultant slump in the markets happened soon after Finance
Minister Yashwant Sinha presented what he considered his best budget ever. Under pressure from the
government, SEBI investigated the scam and heads began to roll. Among them: the entire management
team of BSE, including its president Anand Rathi, CSFB, First Global, and, in an indirect connection,
P.S.Subramanyam, the Chairman of UTL Evidently, for the 18 months that PSS was Chairman of UTI,
the Trust had mirrored the actions of the bull cartel. The result? When the market tanked, so did the

NAV of its holy cow, the US-64. Masterminded by the Pentafour bull Ketan Parekh. He was arrested in
December 2002 and banned from acccessing the capital market for 14 years. [81]

VANISHING COMPANIES SCAM (1998) :- A passing remark heard by then Finance Minister
Palaniappan Chidambaram resulted in a furore over what was badly-kept secret on Dalal street.
Chidambaram was told that hundreds of companies had disappeared after raising moneys form the
public. An informal scrutiny revealed that perhaps over 600 companies were missing. Chidambaram
ordered a probe by SEBI. The SEBI probe conducted in May 1998 revealed that while many companies
are not traded on the bourses at least 80 companies that had rises Rs.330.78 crore (US$61.25 million)
were simply missing. Later that year, the Department of Company Affairs (DCA) was asked to probe
and penalize these companies. DCA still investigating. Investigations continue to this day. [78]

CRB SCAM (1997) :- Another scam forged by greed and discovered through accident. Chain Roop
Bhansali, a smart-talking entrepreneur, created a pyramid financial empire based on high-cost
financing. At its peak, his Rs. 1,000 crore (US$238 million) financial conglomerate had in its ranks a

mutual fund, a financial services company into fixed deposits, and a merchant bank. That Bhansali
knew how to work the system became evident when he also managed to secure a provisional banking
license. Then his luck ran out. An executive in the State Bank of India Inadvertently discovered that
some interest warrants issued by Bhansali were not backed by cash. The bubble finally burst in May
1997, but by that time investors had lost over Rs. 1,000 crore. This was among the first retail scams in
India and it was played out, in smaller avatars, across the country-especially in the South where
financial services companies promised returns in excess of 20 per cent and decamped with the
principal. Bhansali was arrested for a few weeks and released later on bail. [57]

PLANTATION COMPANIES SCAM (1999) Rs. 2,563 crore (US$732.2 million)- It was as innovative
a swindle as any effected in the world. Savvy entrepreneurs convinced gullible investors that given the
right irrigation and fertilizer inputs, teak, strawberries, and anything else that could be grown, would
grow anywhere in the country. The promoters could afford to collect money from investors and not
worry about retribution (or returns, for that matter). For, plantation companies fell under the purview of
neither SEBI nor Reserve Bank of India. Indeed, they didn't even come under the scope of the
Department decided to change things in 1999, enough investors had been gulled: 653 companies,
between them, had raised Rs. 2,563 crore from investors. To date, not many investors have got their
principals back, just another affirmation of the old saying about money not growing on trees. [46]
