Ratul Puri threatened choppers scam accused against sharing info on father, uncle: ED
Ratul Puri, nephew of Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath, “threatened” VVIP choppers scam accused Rajiv Saxena not to share evidence against an uncle of his and father, the ED has alleged in its latest charge sheet in the Rs 3,600-crore defence scandal.
The ED has charged the 47-year-old promoter of Hindustan Power Projects Pvt Ltd with “destruction of evidence” and said it had to go to the extent of recovering “ashes” of burnt documents during raids at the premises of Ratul Puri’s close aide Niamat Singh.
The Enforcement Directorate (ED), in its prosecution complaint or charge sheet filed before a special court here on November 2, has charged Ratul Puri of using corporate structures “owned or maintained” by Saxena to launder kickbacks in the scam received from the three alleged middlemen in the case — Christian Michel James, Carlos Gerosa and Guido Haschke.
