The Adani Mega Scam: A Brief Summary

Don't get brainwashed by the propaganda around the recent US indictment of Adani and his accomplices. Just go through the following facts:

1) Adani was first arrested for fraud in 2002 by the Delhi govt directly under Vajpayee, a Non-Soros influenced, non-deepstate BJP Prime Minister.

2) The over-invoicing and over-pricing scams of Adani on equipment, coal, etc through global proxies and coercion tactics of Modi Sarkar make Indian consumers pay huge power bills due to inflated costs of acquisition.

3) The govt sets agencies like ED, IT, and CBI to target dozens of Indian businesses which result in the ownership of these businesses ending up in Adani's hands.

4) There is a set pattern and strong correlation between Modi's visits to multiple nations and Adani getting huge contracts by these governments a few weeks later.

5) Adani has got large amounts of land and infrastructure at throwaway prices by governments all over the country. Even the manner in which he got the Dharavi project in Mumbai has raised eyebrows.

6) Hindenburg, a US short seller revealed nearly 2 years ago that Adani group was indulging in financial malpractices and large-scale stock manipulation through a global structure of shell entities based in Mauritius, Singapore and other countries.

7) SEBI claimed to draw a blank in investigating Hindenburg's allegations despite strong evidence and money trails provided by international entities. Later, it was found that the SEBI chief herself was involved with the fraudulent Adani shell network and  that she may have been derailing the investigation.

8) Not a single Indian investigation agency such as ED, IT, SEBI, CBI and the Lokpal are likely to investigate further into the Adani scam despite the large-scale evidence being shared by Hindenburg, the US courts,  and stock market regulator, and internationally reputed journalists.

9) Whenever top Indian politicians like Mahua Moitra, Rahul Gandhi and Sanjay Singh of different political parties first raised their voices against the Adani scam, they were immediately slapped with serious legal charges (and even faced lengthy jail terms) on different issues raised by the BJP, almost as if they were being blackmailed into silence.

10) The US indictment is about serious allegations of corruption by government officials and possibly ministers in Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Orissa, Chattisgarh, and J&K, but the central and state governments, courts, investigation agencies and sold out mainstream media are still sleeping and complicit in this crony capitalistic mega fraud.

11) The indictment of Adani in the US for fraud and misrepresentation to investors is based on the evidence of fraud provided by multiple whistleblowers who are/were insiders within Adani's own business network.

12) Ajit Pawar, a partner of Modi's BJP government in Maharashtra has claimed that Adani, an Indian businessman was present at a political discussion to decide government formation in the state along with other BJP leaders and representatives of their political allies.

The fact is that for the past few decades none of the above agencies have ever completed a thorough investigation into the list of wrong-doings of the conglomerate, the individual and his crony capitalistic dealings with political masters. The facts are often drowned in misplaced patriotism and nefarious spin doctoring.

A Special Focus on the Horrific Vyapam Scam and the Murderous Right Wing Nexus in Madhya Pradesh

The sinister Vyapam scam has blown the lid off the hollow claims of the RSS and the BJP of being the protectors of Hindus and of being “true nationalists” as against the “treachery of pseudo-secular” politicians and “deshdrohi” minorities. Yes, the Hindutva brigade and their cronies have been massacring HINDUS (most of whom are ex-RSS recruits) in large numbers in Madhya Pradesh to cover up the massive corruption of the local BJP Government and the Sangh Parivar in the Vyapam Scam.

It’s a well known fact that the origins of the Vyapam scam lay in the covert policy of the BJP Government more than a decade ago to hand over degrees and jobs on a platter to the offspring of RSS and BJP leaders. The modus operandi was simple. A student impersonator, an ex-student or a bright peer, would be paid handsomely to write the answers at the designated examination centre for the undeserving student whose parents could bestow special favours or money to the student as well as the state education and government officials. Fake ID cards, spare class rooms, blank answer sheets, and a knowledgeable impersonator all formed the nucleus of this scam.

But the scam grew over the years to humongous proportions and even stretched beyond the right-wing mafia to contaminate the entire political and educational systems, law enforcement agencies and even the state judiciary. The children of politicians, judges and policemen have all benefited with educational qualifications and jobs, dangerously compromising these democratic institutions. Many deserving students have failed exams or not got jobs because of these scamsters, which caused a number of bravehearts aka whistleblowers to reveal the rot in the system at the risk of their precious lives.

No less than the governor, Ram Naresh Yadav, the former education minister, the ex-private secretary of the chief minister of the state, Shivraj Chauhan, and the BJP chief minister himself have been accused of being the ring leaders of the scam. The son of the Governor, a Congress appointee, has been killed and it was learnt that money had actually changed hands within the official residence of this dignitary. Confidential software including Excel sheets expose the misdoings of these top politicians and their cronies.

However, the Vyapam scam has taken a turn for the worse with the murder of more than 50 persons in the past 2-3 years that coincided with the rollout of the state-level probe by the cornered BJP government. These victims were either accused or witnesses, and all have died mysteriously with more than 10 deaths reported as “suicide” contrary to available evidences.meanwhile the state government and judiciary carried on an unfair, dishonest probe that moved at a snail's pace.

A typical example of the rampant killings and cover-ups was the case of Namrata Damor who had been caught for cheating a few days before her mutilated corpse was found on the railway tracks in a remote part of Madhya Pradesh. Three highly experienced doctors who examined her unidentified corpse and performed the first mortem came to the conclusion that it was murder by asphyxiation and strangling. They clearly mentioned it in their report after which her body was cremated. 

However, later on her identity was established and a second report done three months later by Dr Badkur which was based on mere photographic evidence (and not on any physical examination of the body) came to the incredulous conclusion that the first report was wrong and the case was not of homicide but of suicide. Also, with a mere glance of the photograph, the doctor goes on to state even more ridiculously that the victim was mentally disturbed because of failure in love and annoyance of her parents. By the way, it was a post mortem report.

Interestingly, the same Dr. Badkur (alternatively spelled as Badkul) also performed the post mortem in the death of high-profile RTI activist and former BJP insider, Shehla Masood, who was shot dead by assailants on a bike. Even her post mortem was changed from murder to suicide due to the criminal intervention of the same Dr. Badkur who has become a master of post mortem fudging. There is a need for a fresh probe on the murder of Shehla Masood who “had just received information that could shake the government in Madhya Pradesh to its core." Check out more details of her death and coverup at http://www.hardnewsmedia.com/2011/11/4202 and http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/shehla-masood-case-police-forensic-doctors-botched-up-probe/1/154686.html

Despite my exposure of the complicity of Dr. Badkur in both these deaths, the mainstream national media has maintained a stoic silence on this issue. Hopefully, better sense prevails with the growing international media attention these cases have attracted.

And the right-wing murders don’t stop here. Yesterday the ninth key witness in the Asaram rape case was attacked and became the third victim to succumb to his wounds. A gullible electorate is willing to forgive and forget the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, the riot massacres across India, the bomb blasts in Malegaon and  the Samjhauta Express and the bloody killings of RTI activists as well as key witnesses in the Vyapam scam and Asaram case. As long as we continue to vote for murderers, rapists and communal bigots, so omnipresent in the current political dispensation, then we must bid adieu to the false promises of Acche Din and good governance!
