Hyderabad: Grocer a Director in Chinese Company Running Gambling Racket

Hyderabad: Grocer a Director in Chinese Company Running Gambling Racket

How did smalltime grocer from Delhi become a director in a Chinese Company that allegedly ran an illegal Online Gambling Racket

 in India worth more than Rs 1,000 crore?

Police officers in Hyderabad are trying to answer this question after Neeraj Tuli, one of the three Indian directors held along with a Chinese national, told investigators that he was just an ordinary grocer who ran a small neighbourhood shop as an extension of his home in Delhi’s Karol Bagh area. He claimed he had no clue that his name was being used to run the company and found out about it only when cops reached his doorstep.

Tuli accused his chartered accountant neighbor, P Hemant, of tricking him into signing some documents which made him part of the business without his knowledge. Officials are on the lookout for Hemant who is missing.

“Tuli claimed that Hemant, under the pretext of helping him audit his accounts, got many documents signed by him. He said he did not know that Hemant would use them to make him a dummy director in Chinese firms. It is true that Tuli is a grocer, but we are not taking his claims at face value. He will be grilled further,’’ said a senior officer. TOI
