Yesterday the Maharashtra assembly was thrown into turmoil over this report, which claimed that fraudster Hassan Ali laundered money for three former Maharashtra CMs:
"In those years, especially the late 1990s and early 2000s, the stock markets had huge black money riding on it, which was often untraceable. Ali smartly bought participatory notes which were not required to be registered with SEBI. In the same fashion, some of the money would also come into companies that would have a beneficiary of the politician's family or in some cases, a completely new business entity in the name of a beneficiary of the politician," said a source close to the probe agencies. Through this strategy, Ali is believed to have pumped in money into the businesses of the son-in-law of one of these former CMs."
[emphasis mine]
What do you think is the chance that these three CMs would be named? Last week Tehelka magazine had reported that not naming Ms. Kanimozhi in the charge-sheet was a strong pre-condition for the DMK to re-extend its support to the UPA government. This is what is likely to happen: today’s Mint mentions indications that Kanimozhi, one of Tamil Nadu CM Karunanidhi’s several children and an influential politician, will not be named in the first charge-sheet to be filed in the 2G scam case. If things get too hot, the NCP would withdraw support from the UPA/Maharashtra government, and then watch things return to normalcy.
