MAFIA INVESTMENTS
By: N. Krishna
11-8-02
Around July 2000 Mr. V.Gupta, the suspended additional
commissioner of Income Tax department said in one TV channel that
Mafia had invested in Bollywood, hardly the electronic media or
newspapers took note of it. .Recently the Indian TV channels had
flashed the conversation of film star Sanjay Dutt and the mafia
don Chotta Shakkeel, which was taped by Police on November 14,
2000. The conversation lasted some 45 minutes and Sanjay
Dutt was asking the underworld don for Dubai or Karachi SIM cards
for his mobile to avoid detection by Indian Police. But
instead of arresting and keeping Sanjay Dutt who is already an
accused in the Bombay serial blast case, everyone is keeping mum
on it. Sanjay Dutt’s father Sunil Dutt is a leading
Congress MP and was a product of the Bollywood, is saying that his
son is innocent. A film producer Bharat Shah is already
being prosecuted for his connection with the underworld mafia.
Recent revelations indicate that the mafia invested Rs. 48 crore
for the latest Hindi movies that was produced in Bollywood.
With these incidents one should start thinking as to when the
underworld had shown any interest in the film world? To be
precise the underworld is involved in Bollywood since our
independence.
At the time of independence and the next decade, many an unknown
muslims in India have become extremely rich in Kerala to Kashmir
because of the assets they collected from some of the departing
muslims. At that time, many Persian Gulf countries, had
Indian Rupee as their currency and was totally depended on Gold
smuggling to India. Some of the profits from these smuggling
activities were invested in the Bombay film world. This was
even before the birth of Dawood Ibrahim. Leading citizens of
Dubai, like Lootah, Galadhari, etc and even the Dubai Sheikh
Rashid was involved and this was depicted in the books like
“Dubai” etc. With the discovery of the oil in the Gulf
the nature the investment by these Gulf nationals have
intensified, to cover not only the film world, but in real estate,
education etc. and as no foreign investment were allowed in these
areas in the fifties till the eighties, all these were in benami
names, and to enforce its smooth running they had hired the Indian
mafia. Because of this collaboration, the second
generation of Indian mafia dons shifted their headquarters to
safer heavens like Dubai, Malaysia, etc. It is rumoured that
even some of the ruling Sheiks in UAE had used the services of
these dons, and it is one of the reasons why they are still safe
in places like Dubai.
During Indira Gandhi’s time these smugglers like Lootah,
Galadhari etc, who are Dubai nationals, had paid hefty sums to the
then government and the politicians to stop further criminal
prosecutions against them which were pending in various states in
India. The government of India should open these old cases
as most of these smugglers are also financing the Islamic
terrorist activities that are going on in India. From the
seventies it was an open secret that the Arab smugglers from Dubai
and other Arab nationals were investing in films and real estate,
but our police and politicians were in their pocket. Many of
our yesteryear film stars are brought up by these smugglers who
had invested in Bollywood. As per the Bombay film world
personalities some of the brothels in Kamathipura in Mumbai are
owned by some of the film stars of yesteryears. It is
no wonder then that these film stars when coming to Dubai were
found to be staying in the Hotel belonging to Dawood Ibrahim
Even actors like Jitendra were seen staying in Dawood’s hotel in
Dubai in the eighties. The latest revelations on the drug
addict Sanjay Dutt’s liaison with the mafia don Chotta Shakeel
and his earlier involvement in the Bombay serial blast should not
be seen in isolation. While CBI is trying to protect
Sanjay Dutt by persuading him to withdraw his confessional
statement, our former Hindi film star Praveen Babi, given sworn
affidavit to court giving evidence against Sanjay Dutt for his
involvement in the Mumbai serial bomb blast case, and made
allegations against several film stars, our investigating agencies
and even America’s Central Intelligence Agency.
On eight August 2002, the mafia don Abu Salem called on Star TV
channel ‘Star News’ and claimed that he had put in Rs 48 crore,
in to the Indian cinema’s most expensive movie “Devdas”.
Its producer Bharat Shah is already being prosecuted for his mafia
links along with Nasim Rizvi for the film ‘Chori Chori Chupke
Chupke’. What the Indian public is not aware is that these
mafia men are only front men for the Gulf nationals from Dubai and
other Gulf regions, who are really putting the money for the Hindi
movie production. The drug money and the terrorist funding
money are extensively laundered through the banks in Dubai and an
alarmed US president Bill Clinton raised this issue through
US defense secretary William S Cohen during a 1999 meeting with
his Emirates counterparts. US have even named some of
the Dubai banks like Dubai Islamic bank etc as the centre of the
money laundering activity. The Washington Post in January
2002 reported that the United Arab Emirates rulers betrayed
sympathy for Osama bin Laden’s aims. Even the fake Indian
currency is being brought in to our country from Dubai and these
may be from the printing presses owned by the mafia members in the
Gulf nations itself. Hawala money and cash from the
underworld was seen diverted in to the Indian stock market and
used to ramp up share prices. Newspapers in April 2001 had
reported that many key Mumbai brokers made frequent visits to
Dubai in the wake of stock market crisis, and they were seen
making frequent phone calls to their Dubai associates. In
April 2002, amid controversy over the security clearance of Jet
Airways, the Department of Company affairs has ordered inspection
of the promoter company of Jet Airways, known as Tail Winds Ltd to
see whether any of its shares were held by any persons of Arab
origin. It is now believed that the Jet Airways, India’s
largest private air carrier is largely funded by Dawood Ibrahim,
one of the most wanted terrorist in India. Dawood may be the
front man for the Arabs, who were smugglers of gold in to India,
who have become investors in Bollywood and every business in
India.
Some small examples of the many things that came to our knowledge
during the stay in Bombay and in Dubai over a period of 30 years
are given below. In Dubai there was a retired Police Captain, who
is one of the sponsors of Dawood Ibrahim. He had even given
his three-digit car number plate to Dawood Ibrahim. This
lower middle class UAE national runs a video shop in Rashidiya in
addition to many other businesses. and as of 1981, had produced
many Hindi movies in Bombay and owns buildings in Bombay,
Hyderabad and Bangalore. He has some business in Bombay and
some of his interest is being looked after by a Muslim lawyer
based in Bangalore. There are many buildings for the Al
Fardan Real Estate in Dubai, and when some of us had invited the
family of the owner Najat Adnan to stay with us in some of the
Indian cities, they told us that they have buildings in all those
cities. Foreign direct investment is going on in India,
since independence, but our government is not aware of it.
An average UAE national have extensive real estate interest in
India, and a person looking for some fun, which is normal for
Arabs, investing in Bollywood ensures a life of pleasure with male
and female film stars. During partition, communal riots in
which lakhs of Hindus were butchered and yet the post independence
movies hardly portrayed the communal riots and the torture the
Hindu community had undergone is not depicted in any Hindi movies.
Since independence we were shown all Hindi movies which always
glorify Islam, and the good deeds of muslims, and always make fun
of the Hindu customs and Gods. It was no coincidence and
actors like Yusuf Khan a Muslim alias Dilip Kumar was promoted and
even given Pakistan’s award called Nishan-a-imtiaz or Nishan-e-Pakistan.
This is not all, the number of Muslim actors were high and
disproportionate, to their population as these movies were shot
with Arab muslim smugglers’ funding. Many of muslim actors
in the Hindi film world adopted Hindu names to hide their
identity.
Dawood who started as a driver, had grown to a very high profile
mafia don, with his services being utilized by the Sheikhs of UAE,
and now he has not only the Pakistani passport, but even the UAE
passport, which is not issued normally to Indians.
Newspapers had reported that he even employs some 30 former IB,
CBI, RAW men clandestinely both within and outside India to seek
their expertise on various legal matters which has time and again
thwarted Indian intelligence agencies efforts to book him.
According to intelligence sources, as many as 13 former senior CBI
officials, 10 former Intelligence Bureau officials and seven
former Research and Analysis Wing officials have reportedly been
given jobs at about 2lakhs per month salary for non-productive
works by Dawood Ibrahim in Dubai and in some offices in Mumbai,
Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad. Dawood’s five
brothers who are alive and four sisters operate in Dubai and own
the King’s video, Moin’s readymade garments, electronic shop
etc.
Gangster Chotta Shakeel in November 2000 asked film producer Nasim
Rizvi to ask our Deputy PM, and Maharastra Deputy CM to effect
transfer of Inspector Pradeep Sharma and SI Daya Nayak who were
very effective in controlling Shakeel’s associates in
Mumbai. A Shakeel associate Nabi even filed false cases
against these officers with the National Human Rights Commission.
The mafia penetrated every aspect of Indian society and business
as these dons are front men for the Gulf nationals. The
former Judge J W Singh’s contact with Chotta Shakeel is fresh in
our memory. These dons are involved in bringing plane loads
of girls from Bombay for entertaining the Arabs in the hotels of
Dubai. These girls are never allowed to go out of the hotels
for three months till their contracts are over. If they had
to go out in case of medical treatment they are taken to the
clinic with a guard, and we used to get such patients regularly.
These girls are allowed to go for purchase only in the last 3 days
before being packed back to India.
The new trend to cover the involvement of mafia in various funding
is to use Christian businessmen in India and abroad. Another
advantage is that many Christians use Hindu names and is less
likely to be suspected as an operative of ISI. An example of
the use of Christians as ISI agent is the involvement of one
Keralite businessman called Sunny Varkey in Dubai who is being
investigated by RAW as an ISI agent. Varkey, the father of
Sunny Varkey was a drunkard and womanizer, ran a small school
called Our Own English High School in Dubai. When he died,
the whole family was about to go back to Kerala, but his son,
Sunny Varkey decided to stay on and expand the business. All
of a sudden, the school business expanded with external funding
and he started Pakistani schools as well. Few years back he
started a hospital called Welcare Hospital in Dubai, for which
funding came from Pakistani bankers. He had to employ unqualified
Pak nationals in the Hospital and elsewhere. His management
group consists of, the wife of the Pakistani counsel general in
Dubai and Indian ex. Army staff like Maj. Gen. O.P. Parmar, Col
M.L. Augustine, Cap. Limbo etc. Such examples are
plenty in the Gulf. Recently the Enforcement Directorate had
told the Venkataswami Commission, that the monies used for
production of the Tehelka tapes might have been from sources in
Dubai. The aim of the Tehelka was to destabilize the
Indian Government and they even employed prostitutes to trap
officials. It is well known that the BJP led government is
seen as a threat by the Gulf nationals and the mafia and the use
of prostitutes in journalism can only germinate in the sick
criminal minds of those in Dubai. The latest Hawala scam to
hit the news is the 336 crore telegraphic scam now rocking Kerala.
336 crore was deposited in cash within a year in Mumbai in four
small banks, namely Catholic Syrian Bank, Lord Krishna Bank,
Federal Bank and Nedungadi Bank. The money was withdrawn in
Kerala and Coimbatore by telegraphic transfer with in days of
deposit. The Banks never followed the security norms, and it
is suspected that it might have been used to finance the
Coimbatore blasts in which our Deputy PM, L.K. Advani was
targeted. Surya TV, a private Malayalam channel,
telecast a report linking Kerala Tourism Minister K V Thomas with
the Rs 336-crore hawala scandal. Kerala police raided the channel
and documents were seized without preparing an inventory to
destroy it in order to help the Minister. Intelligence
Bureau in June 2002 revealed that atleast 66 bank officials
holding key positions in southern states are likely to be booked
under prevention of terrorist act for their involvement in
facilitating banking channels for transaction of money to
terrorists and also for conversion of fake currency for the
terrorists.
Benazir Bhutto whose graft moolah is $ 1.5 billion, for which some
22,000 pages of proof was produced in Pak courts, has
buildings and business interests in Dubai. Ex. Pak PM,
Shareef owns steel mill in Dubai. Benazir was convicted in
Pakistan for 3 years RI on 9th
July 2002, in the ARY gold case. The Pakistani ARY traders
were granted a monopolistic gold import license by Benazir. The
same Pakistani muslim trader in November 1998 had given a 500SJ
Mercedes Benz car to the match fixing cricketer Azaruddin which we
all saw in Dubai, but Azaruddin denied it. The ARY traders,
who are Pak muslims, also make pendants of Hindu Gods and market
it heavily in India.
Part of the loot that was siphoned out of Pakistan by Benazir and
Shareef were meant for ISI activities, and part of it finds its
way to our Bollywood. There is an Indo Pakistan nexus among
politicians and criminals and this can be seen only if one lives
in the Gulf countries. Some of this money is invested in the
print media in India, and is one reason why we see so much news
about Pakistan and a lot of sympathy for Pakistan in some of the
media including some TV channels. The Govt. of India has
cleared of 26%FDI in print media, but decades back, already large
scale funding from abroad is in place. There was a
Hawala operator in Dubai who is now the President of a State
Congress unit in a Southern state. Many MPs and MLAs,
telephone for money through Hawala to many of the businessmen in
Dubai. The capital of almost all businesses in the Gulf is
taken out of India illegally. Almost every businessman
is involved in some type of illegal activities, like piracy of
audio and video cassettes, import of spurious items to India,
collecting export incentives illegally etc they oblige these
request for money by our elected representatives. Container
loads of pirated audio and video cassette operation of a Kerala
businessman in Dubai is around $100 million to USA. When
Dubai tightened the copyright act, they signed agreements with
artists and distributors in Dubai and continued their operation.
The artists and businessmen had converted themselves to 180
day NRIs to save the income tax.
It is no coincidence that Chandra Babu Naidu recommended Aga, who
was the Chairman of the collapsed Charminar Bank in Hyderabad to
the Wakf Board as a government nominee, even though he had
criminal records, dating 30 years back and was a known card holder
of Dawood Bhai. Conveniently Aga committed suicide when his name
cropped up during the Parliament attacker Ansari’s
interrogation. Naidu made four trips to Dubai, and helped
Emirates airlines, which was finding it difficult to survive after
9/11 WTC attack to start direct flight to Hyderabad, which was
considered as a security risk by many. He also helped Dubai
World Trade Center to start annual computer show in Hyderabad
which in my opinion should be going on the other way around by our
International Trade Fair authority organising it in Dubai.
Every politician in his capacity will sell our nation’s interest
to outsiders. Naidu had given a contract for a rock
garden in Hyderabad to a Dubai firm’s newly opened Hyderabad
unit, even though in Dubai there is no rock at all for the Dubai
firm to get experience.
To stop the terrorist funding, hawala operations and Bollywood
financing the Government of India should open all the old
smuggling cases pending against the Arab nationals like Lootah,
Galadhari etc and bring it to a logical conclusion. All
details of these case files should be in the public domain.
I suggest that a national commission should be established to
investigate the foreign mafia involvement in the Indian film
industry, real estate, Indian politics, in the print and
visual media, in our educational institutions, since independence.
Our politicians and bureaucrats involvement in the mafia
investment in India should also be investigated.
