Koda money rode on hawala
Navin Upadhyay | New Delhi
The economic investigation agencies probing the Madhu Koda scam have unearthed huge pay-off remitted from abroad to agents and facilitators for grabbing mining lease in Jharkhand when Koda was the Chief Minister.
Sources said that Koda’s close aide Binod Sinha helped a major steel company grab mining lease in the State. The company agreed to pay part of the payment in cash for the contract of extracting iron ore from Jharkhand mines and remaining by remitting it to two separate companies linked to Sinha and his aides.
Sources said probe agencies have learnt that Koda and his associates used hawala channels in a big way to receive pay-offs for awarding mining lease to different companies. The bribes were routed to a spate of companies and then passed off to Koda and his aides.
In the present case, the probe agencies have learnt that as per the understanding reached between the steel company and Koda’s aides, the former allegedly routed the money through Global Absolute Research Private Ltd and Brushman India Ltd. The two separate companies are headed by one person, whose role is already under scanner in the scam.
Sources said there is evidence to establish that Tony Dildar Singh, a senior official of the Global Research, visited Ranchi in 2007 to finalise the mining lease and cut off the ‘deal’ with Koda’s aides. Dildar Singh is believed to be the main person involved in transferring funds from Dubai, Delhi, London, India, and Singapore.
The probe agencies have found evidence to establish that Koda’s APS Arun Kumar Srivastava had written to Dildar Singh and one Anil Adi Nath Bastabade in 2007, inviting them to explore business possibilities in Jharkhand on the instruction of Koda and Binod Sinha. Anil Bastabade is a key player in the scam.
Probe agencies are investigating a series of suspected transactions reflected in the accounts of Global Absolute Research Pvt Limited and Brushman India Ltd. Sources said that on March 14, 2007, Global Research received payment of Rs 3.5 lakh from London and again received Rs 11 crore in the third week of October from New York.
On March 10, 2008, the company again received Rs 46 lakh from the same source in New York. On April 4, Global Research received foreign remittance of US$ 1,99,972.50 by Vishes Infotechnic from New York. On June 6, another London-based company remitted US$ 1,41,14.02 to it.
Also under scanner is a remittance of $11,710,507.00 that flowed into the account of Brushman India from London on August 1, and then re-routed to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai.
Bastabade is well connected in Delhi, London, Dubai and had visited Ranchi several times between 2006 and 2008 when Koda was the CM...
