India Commonwealth Games Scam delhi scandal

That India is a garbage bin of humongous proportions is well known to all us Indians but it has been hidden from the rest of the world for so long now that outsiders had started believing in the trash being dished out about 'India Shining', 2nd fastest growing economy, cultural paradise and what not. Thank goodness the Commonwealth Games 2010 brought out the reality from this illusory perception.

A Scam of Massive Proportions

The commonwealth games 2010 scam was waiting to happen. But the proportion couldn't be guessed even by generous estimates. Rs 36,000 crores or $8 billion scam! Whoa. And this in a country where 400 million live below the official poverty line or simply put, in sub-human conditions. But this was only expected once Suresh Kalmadi was appointed the head of the commonwealth games Organizing Committee. After all, he has a string of achievements to his credit. Some of which include charges of land grab, becoming the chief of Indian Olympics Committee (IOC) using shady means and using the same to stay in that position ever since, siphoning off public funds and many more.


Commonwealth Games Scam List - A Ready Reckoner

• Liquid Soap Dispensers rented for Rs 9,379 a piece or $206
• Operating Expenses escalating from Rs 399 crore in December 2002 to Rs 1,628 crore finally.
• Medical equipment including tread mills have been bought or rented at 6-7 times their original price.
• Allegations that funds meant for India's most deprived sections - the SC/ST - have been diverted to the games funds. Stealing from the poor to fund the elite's luxuries?
• Construction so fragile, it falls before completion.

The commonwealth games 2010 related infrastructure projects have left India's capital city, New Delhi, resembling a war zone. Practically all roads are dug up, cables lying all around, people jumping over little rocks as the pavements resemble Moon like craters. With more than 50,000 crore rupees already pumped in one would have expected at least decent output.

• The newly built shooting range at the Siri Fort area collapsed after one heavy shower
• The foot over bridge adjacent to the main venue of the Commonwealth Games collapsed while being erected, injuring 27 workers who were dumped into a tow away truck to a municipal hospital and dished out a compensation of measly Rs 50,000 ($1097) for broken skulls and multiple fractures.
•  Many of the games venues leaked during the monsoon and roofs of some collapsed.
• The Commonwealth Games village, the place where athletes from participating countries will be put up is infested with dog poo, snakes, clogged toilets, and unfinished work.
• Fancy bill boards have erected all over the city to hide the piles of garbage, slums that are a trademark sight in any major city in India.

Cash-for-votes scandal Events and allegations

The CPI(M) objected to a proposal that would see the United States supply nuclear technology to India in return for India agreeing to United Nations inspections of its nuclear programs and the splitting of the civil and military aspects of those programs. CPI(M) believed that this would cause India to be effectively subservient to the US. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) also objected, on the grounds that the inspections could impede development of the country's nuclear arms program. The vote was won by the government in the face of the predominantly left-wing and Hindu nationalist objections. It had been arguing that the nuclear infrastructure needed to be developed more rapidly because the existing electric generation facilities were incapable of meeting growing demand.

The government's success in the 2008 confidence vote was marred when three BJP MPs, including Ashok Argal, waved bundles of cash which they produced from bags in parliament during the debate, accusing the government of giving it to them in order to buy their support or abstention in the vote. The BJP demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh over the allegations and claimed that they had video evidence of the deals being made, while the CPI(M) leader said that "Practically every member of parliament has been approached with offers of money and inducements." The government denied the allegations, pointing out that Argal would have self-incriminated himself by admitting to receiving a bribe. The Speaker, Somnath Chatterjee, asked New Delhi's police chief to investigate. [1][2]

A fortnight later, on 2 August, the BJP offered "documentary evidence" to support its allegation that Argal, Faggan Singh Kulaste and Mahaveer Bhagora had been bribed. The evidence included transcripts of video recordings and explanatory letters from two of the MPs, all of which was passed to the investigatory committee that had been set up by parliament. The BJP also criticised CNN-IBN, who had recorded the BJP MP's attempt to sting the government but had not broadcast it.[3]

The tapes were broadcast on 12 August 2008 after CNN-IBN had made its appearance before the investigating committee. The company had resisted the calls for an earlier broadcast on the grounds of legal opinion that it had not yet attended the committee and that the broadcast might prejudice the investigatory process.[4][5]

The parliamentary investigation began on 30 July 2008 and has frequently been referred to as the Kishore Chandra Deo committee.[5] The committee reported in December 2008 that it had found no evidence of bribery in the case of Rajya Sabha members Amar Singh and Ahmad Patel. They had been accused of offering the bribes, and Singh was a prominent member of the Samajwadi Party (SP) which had begun to support the government at the time when the Left Front moved to oppose it. The committee also recommended further investigation into the activities of Sanjeev Saxena, Sohail Hindustani and Sudheendra Kulkarni. Saxena was an aide to Amar Singh, Kulkarni had a similar role for the BJP leader, L. K. Advani and Hindustani was a Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha activist (although some early reports say that he was a driver). Some committee members distanced themselves from the report's full conclusions but agreed that the additional investigation was needed.[6] The report concluded that the video evidence relating to a car at Singh's house was insufficient proof: it was not possible to determine who was in the car and "It does not prove what transpired inside the house. There is nothing to show that money was offered for voting in favour of the motion of confidence or for abstaining from voting."[7]

A police investigation was instigated in January 2009 to look into the issues relating to Saxena, Hindustani and Kulkarni which had been recommended in the report of the parliamentary committee.

Rajiv Gandhi Bofors Guns Purchase Scandal

The Bofors scandal was a major corruption scandal in India in the 1980's. The then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and several others were accused of receiving monetary and other benefits from Bofors AB for winning the bid to supply Indian military with 155 mm field howitzer. The scale of the corruption was far worse than any that India had seen before, and directly led to the defeat of Gandhi's ruling Indian National Congress party in the November 1989 general elections. It has been speculated that the scale of the scandal was close to Rs. 400 million (almost US$9 Million). The bofors scandal case came to light during Vishwanath Pratap Singh's tenure as the defence minister. The bofors scam was revealed through investigative journalism by Chitra Subramaniam and N. Ram of the newspapers the Indian Express and The Hindu.


The middleman associated with the bofors artillery gun scandal was Ottavio Quattrocchi, an Italian businessman who represented the petrochemicals firm Snamprogetti. Quattrocchi was reportedly close to the family of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and emerged as a powerful military hardware broker in the 1980s between big business houses and the Indian government. While the case was still being investigated by the investigation agencies, Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated on May 21, 1991 for an unrelated cause. In 1997, the Swiss banks released some 500 documents after years of legal battle and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a case against Mr. Quattrocchi, Mr. Win Chadha, also naming Rajiv Gandhi, the defense secretary S. K. Bhatnagar and a number of others.

Purulia Arms Drop Scandal

On the night of December 17, 1995 a Latvian aircraft dropped a large consignment of arms including several hundred AK - 47 rifles and more than a million rounds of ammunition over a large area in Jhalda, Ghatanga, Belamu, Maramu villages of Purulia district. Several days later, when the plane re-entered the Indian airspace, Indian Air Force MiG-21 fighter aircrafts intercepted and forced it to land in Mumbai. The Indian Secret Service agencies alleged the arms dropping case. However, in reality no evidence was ever provided in support of these allegations. The court trial on the Purulia Arms dropping case has revealed that the Latvian plane has landed in Bombay's Sahar Airport following ATC dispatcher order caused by a misunderstanding. On the contrary to the allegations made by the Indian secret services, no involvement of any Indian Air Force fighters has ever been proved by the Indian officials in that case.

While the investigation on the arms dropping case in Purulia district of West Bengal could not reveal the true motive of the operation. The alleged motive behind the case remains shrouded in mystery and conjecture, it has been alleged that arms were intended for the socio-spiritual organization Ananda Marga (Sanskrit for "The Path of Bliss"). Further, the claim had been disputed by the claims of the prime accused in the case 'Kim Davy' that the central government itself was behind the arms drop to counter the CPI(M) cadres in West Bengal.

An Indian court in 1997 determined that the Ananda Marga group was indeed the intended recipient of the guns and ammunition dropped from the Latvian Antonov. Based on the testimony by the pilots of the aircraft, along with other evidence such as a photograph of the Ananda Marga headquarters found on the aircraft, the Judge ruled: "as per the materials available I hold that it has been established from the materials on record that the places where the arms were targeted to be dropped were of Anandamargies and precisely three storied white building was the target point and at that target point the arms were tried to be dropped from a flying aircraft and the aircraft has been pin pointed as per the evidence and materials on record." However, despite so many years passing in investigations, many details of the incident are wrapped in mystery, and there has been considerable speculation as to the real purpose and modality of the operation.

The crew of the aircraft consisted of five Latvian citizens and Peter Bleach, a British citizen and an ex Special Air Service operative turned mercenary who was based in Yorkshire and involved in arms dealing. They were arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment while alleged kingpin Niels Christian Nielsen (aka Kim Peter Davy), a Danish citizen and member of the Ananda Marga group, escaped. Later, an Interpol red notice was issued against him. Following the intervention of Russian authorities, the Latvian crew (who gained Russian citizenship while in Indian custody) were later pardoned and released in 2000. An appeal has been submitted by the pilots lawyer before the Calcutta High Court in March 2000 challenging the trial results and the judgement but it is still pending. Peter Bleach, too, was released on 4 February 2004, via a presidential pardon, allegedly due to persistent pressure from the British Government. In 2007 Kim Davy was traced by Denmark authorities and on April 9, 2010 Danish government decided to extradite Kim Davy to India but Danish authorities failed to successfully defend their decision in the Danish high court. Further, Danish authorities decided not to appeal the high court judgement in the Supreme Court. Hence the extradition could not take place.

Fraud Company Owner Saiyed Caught in Ahmedabad

The Navrangpura police on Thursday arrested the notorious Ponzi scamster Wasim Saiyed, who is believed to have duped his customers of Rs 4 crore by promising them higher returns on their investments in his company. The full story of the Fraud Investment Company that duped a man of Rs. 20 Lakhs. The arrest of Wasim Saiyed is said to be a big successful catch for Ahmedabad Police as the amount he is believed to have cheated people off is much more than what had been reported so far.

"We arrested Wasim Saiyed, managing director of KSP Investment Ltd located at Ashram Road. He was booked for cheating around 150 people of Rs 4 crore," said Navrangpura police inspector PM Sarvaiya.

As per the cops, Saiyed had floated his company KSP in 2010 claiming that the firm was recognized by the Reserve Bank of India. Saiyed, along with some relatives, started to offer unbelievable returns on investments.

"We got cheated by Saiyed who claimed that he would give enormous returns. In his scheme, he claimed that on a deposit of Rs 1 lakh, after six months we would get back Rs 2.5 lakh. Further, he had promised to give Rs 15,000 as returns every month on investments of Rs 1 lakh. At that time he showed examples of people who received benefits from his scheme. But later, we found out that the beneficiaries were his relatives posing as customers," said Tirmazi, a complainant from Jamalpur. Tirmazi said that of the 150 people who invested a whopping Rs 4 crore in his scheme, none got anything in return from Saiyed and his fraud company.

We congratulate the Ahmedabad Police for cracking the case and bringing the fraud company owners to justice.
