There is a new turn in the case involving infamous meat exporter Moin Qureshi and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director Ranjit Sinha. According to sources, the CBI’s Special Director Anil Kumar Sinha’s role has also come under close scrutiny as he is reported to have met a large number of visitors accused in various cases.
Gagan Dhawan, whose name was first mentioned by Millennium Post in its edition dated 24 September this year allegedly arranged all such meetings inside CBI office with either Ranjit Sinha or Anil Kumar Sinha. In lieu of this service, Dhawan is alleged to have collected crores of rupees as fee.
Gagan Dhawan has shown his registered address as C-8/8311, Vasant Kunj in Delhi. He is also the director of various companies which include – RHI Printographics Private Limited, Access Enterprises Private Limited, Unique Eye Luxury Apparels Private Limited, Bright Pest Solutions Private Limited, Metis Learning Solutions Private Limited and Trinity Vintners Private Limited. He is serving on board each company as director.
IT officials are also closing in on another significant person in this case, a former Director General of Police of Punjab. This ex-policeman’s son is married to the daughter of a powerful politician. This man, sources say, is the go-between for this politician and Qureshi, given his close ties with both.
After retirement, he has allegedly been managing the dealings between Qureshi and the politician, an
erstwhile powerful political secretary. It is alleged that Dhawan settled many ‘low profile’ CBI cases and collected crores for his services. ‘It was well known in CBI circles that the facilitator in New Delhi had direct contact with the top brass and could get matters settled,’ said a source. Dhawan and his aide Saleem managed to collect crores of rupees running this ‘facilitation’consultancy, said the source. Sources in the IT department indicate there have been nearly 500 hours of telephonic conversations of Qureshi which has been tapped and is under scrutiny. Qureshi had also allegedly met CBI director Ranjit Sinha 90 times in the last 15 months.
The question is for a man whose name has cropped up in income tax investigations, who has been a hawala operator and also a tax evader, why is his passport not being impounded by authorities? According to sources, Qureshi despite ongoing investigation and his name coming under scanner, has been freely and comfortably travelling abroad. He travelled to Europe in middle of this year (around June), said sources.
When contacted, an IT official confirmed that according to the law they cannot impound his passport. In fact, the powers are vested with government of India which can do so.
