MAFIA INVESTMENTS IN INDIA

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. Revelations indicate that the mafia invested Rs. 48 crore for the 2002 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. Most of the successful film actresses were concubines of the Dubai mafias. These girls are picked by Dawood Ibrahim, flown to Dubai and if satisfied are given openings in Bollywood. Even the male actors who catch the fancy of some of the Arab women linked to these Mafia dons have to make their trips to the Gulf countries. It is no coincidence that the actress Nagma who is a keep of Dawood Ibrahim, is seen running around with our Cricket captain Ganguly or canvassing for the congress party. These are all orders of Dawood. Even actors and actresses from the small state of Kerala are seen frequenting Dubai and seen to be doing the same, but mostly for their well heeled Kerala sponsors. The link of the Dubai mafia started from the day oil was discovered. One typical and sad thing is that even the very top and apparently good people are trapped by this mafia. Indira Gandhi had to close all investigations on the gold smuggling, murder rape etc registered in various states against the Dubai Sheikh and Lootah, Galadhari etc and in return they paid Rs 2 crore to Indira Gandhi as per the reports in Gulf magazines and the matter was also reported in the Blitz. Mr. Manmohan Singh when he was the governor of Reserve Bank of India was advised by RAW not to issue license for opening the ISI bank BCCI in Bombay as BCCI was funding spying in India and was also funding the Pakistani nuclear programme. Yet Manmohan simply approved it. BCCI was used even by Reliance for its hawala transactions. (BCCI had grown as a result of it running a supply centre for ‘Pakistani minor girls’ to Sheikh Zyed and other leading Sheikhs in the Gulf. Naturally Sheikh became the leading share holder of BCCI. These details are available in the US senate reports.) The BCCI also known as the cocaine bank collapsed with a loss of $ 16 billion. All that Manmohan got was a scholarship for his daughter, but his main benefit turned out to be that the congress party immediately inducted him to the party. Many details are available in our parliamentary proceedings when the collapse of the BCCI was discussed. It is no wonder that Mushareef is asking for the mediation of Kashmir issue by Sonia Gandhi. Sonia was Antonia Maino and was born in1944 in Luciana in Italy as per her birth certificate submitted to our Government. Strangely her official father Stefano Maino a mason, a fascist, and a Nazi army volunteer was a prisoner-of-war in Russia continuously from 1942 to 1945. At the time of Sonia’s marriage to Rajeev the papers had even reported that both were of the same age. So a new birth date of 1946 was created and the place of birth became Orbassano in Italy and the name became Sonia which is uncommon in Italy. In 1966 she was working in London for an ISI operative Salman Thassir. Sonia’s link to KGB is also reported in the press. When Manmohan Singh's government taken office, Russia called back its career diplomat Ambassador in New Delhi and posted as the new Ambassador a person who was the KGB station chief in New Delhi during the 1970s. So it may not be surprising that recently we made urgent payment to Russia that was widely reported, even though the prices are not negotiated or finalized. Facts are stranger than fiction and if Pakistanis say that our nation is being run by two ISI operatives Indians may find it difficult to deny it. The recent Jharkand fiasco by the ruling congress and the explosive book by an ex IB official clearly showed that the government agencies like IB is being used by the Gandhi family for a long time.

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 rumored 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. Meanwhile CBI was trying to protect Sanjay Dutt by persuading him to withdraw his confessional statement. 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.
In Dubai there was a retired Police Captain Murad, 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. Sunny Varkey, the legal son of Mariamma and K.S. Varkey, who came to Dubai in 1959, at a time when there was no electricity, and no water due to abject poverty back in Kerala. Their son ‘Sunny Varkey’ when born with typical Arab features and as Varkey had no role in it. The father Varkey has become a drunkard, pick up prostitutes and take them home in front of his children and wife. The Dubai police often pick him up from the street and dump him at his home. As Mariamma was linked even to the Sheikh family, the police never deported him or arrest him even once. Varkey ran a school called Our Own English High School in Dubai. His son Sunny Varkey had given a new meaning to the casting coach concept and even for selecting the recruitment agent in Bombay the recruitment agent’s wives had to sleep with him. Incidentally these things are widely known in the fisherman Christian community to which they belong and consequently to get a wife, Mariamma had to purchase a girl for Sunny’s marriage by paying a huge sum and that too from a criminal family from Kerala. When Varkey 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 along with Lootah on whose land the hospital was constructed. The 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. 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 which is a Dubai trade mark, 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 at least 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 organizing 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.
