NEW DELHI, JUNE 16: Chetan Gupta, alleged hawala dealer, has reportedly made a stunning admission vis-a-vis money laundering operations for former Union Minister, Natwar Singh, and his wife, Herminder Kumari.
A special investigation team (SIT) of the CNN-IBN television channel has caught Chetan Gupta spilling the beans on camera. The television channel has quoted alleged hawala dealer as saying that he was "involved" in money laundering operations for Natwar Singh and his wife.
Chetan Gupta's stunning revelation: “Normally what happened is that I would take the number from Natwar Singh or Mrs Natwar Singh and give it to Jatin Kothari. He would get the money transferred. They used to call me to say that the money has been transferred. I would wait for two days and then ask Natwar Singh to check that they received it or not. Once they confirmed that it is received, I would confirm it to Jatin".
Chetan Gupta, a Delhi-based businessman, was arrested on May 17 by Punjab vigilance bureau in connection with the Rs 3,000 crore Ludhiana City Centre Scam.
CNN-IBN claims that it is in exclusive possession of a video testimony given by Chetan Gupta which says that Natwar Singh and his family parked their black money with him, which he then siphoned to their foreign bank accounts using a hawala broker and diamond merchant named Jatin Kothari.
The money was used to buy a flat for Natwar's wife who is former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh's sister. However, when contacted, Natwar Singh was reported to have told CNN-IBN that he knew Chetan Gupta but denied placing any black money with Gupta or using his hawala network to transfer money to foreign bank accounts.
