Arms dealer Abhishek Verma had forged the signatures of a CBI officer on a letter claiming inquiry against him in the Naval War Room leak case is being closed, US-based attorney C Edmond Allen has alleged in his statement to US investigators. The statement of Verma’s estranged business associate, which has been received by the agency in response to its judicial requests recently, had alleged that the letter was used by Verma in an attempt to defreeze his bank accounts, CBI sources said here.
Allen has told US investigators, who were recording his statement for replying to judicial requests sent by CBI, that Verma had forged signatures of the CBI officer on the letter, the sources claimed.
The response to Letters Rogatory, judicial requests sent by CBI, comes as a big boost to the agency which might use the statement to bolster its case of alleged forgery against Verma, CBI sources said.
The agency had sent LRs to the US and Switzerland in connection with agency's probe against Verma in connection with the allegations that Rheinmetall Air Defence AG (RAD) paid US Dollar 5.30 lakh to Verma to stop the blacklisting proceedings initiated by Defence Ministry against it.
