– 100 crore claim on ‘Sprouts’
Foodlink F&B Holdings, a private limited company, has been awarded the sub-contract of ‘Yashobhumi’, a dream project of the Central Government of India. This subcontract is worth hundreds of crores. This company is presently being investigated for committing financial fraud where it was found to evade taxes which were due to the government of India account.
An employee of the company, who handles the financial affairs of the prime accused and director Sanjay Manohar Vazirani is arrested and presently lodged in Taloja jail.
During the investigation, he admitted that he had sent hundreds of crores through ‘Hawala’ to foreign countries which is also a serious offence under the money laundering act of our country.
Mahesh Patil, an employee of this company, residing at Kamothe in Navi Mumbai, was arrested by the GST Intelligence Department on December 12th. He has been given 14 days judicial custody. Patil is considered to be the right-hand man of the Vazirani. Under the guidance and directions of Vazirani, he managed illegal financial transactions worth crores of rupees.
Patil was brought before the Judicial Magistrate Court in CBD Belapur, Navi Mumbai. The journalists of ‘Sprouts’ were present at that time when the discussion of the case was made in open court. So more information is available.
The GST intelligence department informed the court in the discussion that this company had evasion of about 100 crores and investigation is still going on and the amount may go up.
Vazirani and his company have numerous bank accounts and these are used to park illegal cash which is hidden from GST as well as Income tax departments. In fact, Very few of these accounts are in the knowledge of these departments, and very smartly with the help of private CAs Sanjay Vazirani was able to hide these transactions.
It is suspected many more private persons are involved in hiding and managing these accounts. The financial transactions in this account are worth crores of rupees and all of them are suspicious. It was in these accounts that Patil used to deposit illegally obtained black money.
Patil has confessed to the crime in the court in front of the Judge. Patil has admitted that all these transactions were done by him on the instructions of Vazirani and other top officials of the company, the role of all top officials is under scanner for investigation.
Patil is likely to be interrogated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) soon. Not only this, Sanjay Manohar Vazirani is also likely to be arrested if he does not cooperate with the investigation.
What is the matter ?
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to set up Asia’s largest exhibition and convention center in Delhi. The name of this center is India International Convention and Expo Center (IICC) ‘Yashbhoomi’. Its first phase has been inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently. As much as Rs 5400 crore has been spent to build this first phase.
At present, the contract for the entire work of ‘Yashbhoomi’ has been awarded to KINEXIN Convention Management Private Limited, a company in Korea. The director Sanjay Manohar Vazirani was lobbying hard for this Kurian company to get the catering subcontract to ‘Foodlink F&B Holdings’, a private limited company.
Vazirani’s company has so far served catering facilities in functions related to the marriage of Isha Ambani and Anand Piramal, Aakash Ambani and Shloka Mehta, Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, and many other high profiles as also claimed on his website. Apart from this, catering-related services were also provided at the G20 summit recently held in Delhi, the Men’s World Cup 2023, and IPL 2023 which has been claimed by Sanjay Vazirani.
Vazirani is an expert in lobbying for such works. But the first time his illegal transactions of hundreds of crores have been caught and are now in the knowledge of Indian courts. In view of the facts which can be damaging to the country’s reputation the said company should not be given the contract of ‘Yashbhoomi’ by the central government, a request was made on behalf of ‘Sprouts’ to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the company KINEXIN Convention Management Private Limited in this aspect.
The news regarding this was also published in ‘Sprouts’ on 20th October 2023. A copy of this news was sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the CEO of ‘KINEXIN’. Not only that but KINEXIN was also requested to respond to this next follow-up news to ‘Sprouts’. The company has not yet responded to this. But the same mail was forwarded by the company to Sanjay Vazirani, Vazirani stated in the notice sent to ‘Sprouts’.
After receiving this mail forwarded by KINEXIN, Fraud, and corrupt Vazirani said that the news was false and sent a legal notice. He then approached the Mumbai High Court. A claim of Rs 100 crore has also been filed against the editor of ‘Sprouts’, Unmesh Gujarathi. He has also paid the required amount of lakhs of rupees through stamp papers.
This is a desperate attempt to suppress the sound of ‘Sprouts’. This company is doing illegal work and its owner Sanjay Manohar Vazirani is a fraud, so ‘Sprouts’ has demanded that legal action be taken against this company.
‘Sprouts’ believe in the Goddess of Justice. Millions of readers support it so this pressure will do no good. If readers like this article, please share it. If there are any scams, share them on mobile number 9322755098 and raise your voice against such corrupt people.
