Hawala operative who transferred cash for T T V Dinakaran arrested
Naresh a hawala operative who had allegedly transferred money between T T V Dinakaran and Sukesh Chandrashekhar in the Election Commission bribery case has been arrested by the Delhi police. He is alleged to have been tasked with transferring the Rs 50 crore as promised to Sukesh a conman to bribe EC officials in a bid to bag the two leaves symbol of the AIADMK.
The police had found that Naresh, a hawala dealer in old Delhi, had allegedly transferred money at the behest of Dinakaran to the conman, Sukesh. At the time of Sukesh's arrest last week, the police recovered Rs 1.3 crore from him. The police have also learnt that the money was allegedly raised by a Tamil Nadu minister through a Trichy-based businessman.
The businessman in turn got in touch with Naresh to transfer the money. The Delhi police has an audio tape containing a conversation between Dinakaran and Sukesh Chandrashekhar the conman. However, to corroborate the evidence further, the scanner is now on a Trichy based businessman who allegedly arranged the money. It may be recalled that Dinakaran was arrested on the charge that he had through Sukesh tried bribing EC officials to bag the two leaves symbol of the AIADMK. The amount in question was Rs 50 crore. Dinakaran has been booked under IPC sections 170 and 120b and Section 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Police sources say that the tip-off regarding a Trichy-based businessman is a major lead in the case. He is said to have arranged the money on behalf of Dinakaran before passing it on to a hawala operator in Delhi. The hawala operator is then said to have transferred the money to Sukesh. When the police arrested Sukesh, they had found Rs 1.3 crore on him.
The police say that they would now probe the businessman. This will help establish a direct link. Several other Tamil Nadu ministers too are under the scanner. There is a suspicion that the ministers too had played a role in arranging for the money to help Dinakaran bag the two leaves symbol. The police say that it was a huge chunk of cash that had been arranged. Many TN ministers who were backing Dinakaran and wanted him to win the RK Nagar by-poll may have played a role in arranging for the money.
