VPVV Techno scam deepens as more arrests loom
Delhi Police on August 28 arrested promoters of controversial company VPVV Techno Constructions Pvt Ltd, caught for printing fake documents of Indo-US defense exports. The case is registered at Vasant Vihar Police Station. The Patiala House Court in Delhi has given custody of main promoter Venkita Venkat, Hitesh Kumar and Rahul Rajeev Nair to the police. According to the police, they were hiding in Hyderabad after Delhi Police registered an FIR on July 30. They were charged under sections 318 (cheating), 336 (forgery of documents), and 342 (counterfeit) of the BNS, Delhi Police officials said, adding that more officials and promoters of VPVV Techno will be arrested soon.
Other persons of VPVV Techno named in the Delhi Police FIR are: Aqeel Ahammed, Rajan Malik, Chief Patron Dr. Saab (real name is Thanush Pandya), Sumitha Sudhakar, Venkita Venkat’s personal assistant Mansi Malabar, Gopika Raaj, Padmaraj, Rajeev Krishna, Abhinav Paul, police officials said. Police officers said many of them are absconding, and some people have been traced from Kolkata in a bid to cross the Nepal border.
A few weeks back, the Kerala High Court issued a notice to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), the Union Home Ministry, and the Ministry of Corporate Affairs to reply to the petition seeking a CBI probe into the activities of the controversial company VPVV Techno Constructions Pvt Ltd, caught for printing fake documents of Indo-US defense exports. The petitioner, A Harikrishnan, alleged that VPVV Techno committed fraud by claiming that they got an export order from the United States worth Rs.83,000 crore to deliver weapons for the US Army and Navy by producing fake documents and cheated many investors across India of more than Rs.700 crore.
The High Court’s single-judge bench of Justice G Gireesh also ordered Kerala Police to submit the status of the investigation. The next hearing is scheduled on August 18. The High Court has also issued notice to the directors of the fraud company VPVV Techno, caught for printing fake Indo-US arms deal contracts and cheating investors. The petitioners’ main demand was for CBI takeover of the investigation by Kerala Police, as the scam involves many states and has ramifications at the international level. The accused persons are based in Delhi and Nagpur, and a CBI probe is ideal, argued the petitioner.
Kerala Police had recently registered four FIRs and arrested Delhi’s Vasant Vihar-headquartered company’s promoters Venkita Venkat Aqeel Ahammed and Rajan Malik. Recently, many accused got bail from the Kerala High Court, and another absconding promoter, Thanush Pandya, known as Doctor Saab, is facing a new case for using fake identity documents to get bail from the High Court.
The Embassy of India in Washington has confirmed that Delhi-based company VPVV Techno Construction Pvt. Ltd has printed fake documents of an Indo-US weapon export deal. In a recent reply to the cheated investors from India, the Embassy said that there was no such deal between India and the US and added that the queries about the fake company VPVV Techno were forwarded to the Ministry of External Affairs and the Union Home Ministry.[1]
Kerala Police said that the fraud promoters created a fake Indo-US trade deal Indo – US trade deal, and “Q Clearance Bag”, which is signed by the US President, from a printing press in Ramesh Park in East Delhi. The cheated investors alleged that the promoters, who got bail recently, conducted a press conference in Delhi on June 5 and claimed that the Delhi Police Commissioner has given them a clean chit.
The company’s other directors, Hitesh Kumar, Rahul Rajeev Nair, Rajan Pradeep Kumar Prabhakaran and Vinod Rama Warrier Kumar are also on the police radar for cheating many investors across India by printing fake US documents. The company promoters claimed that the US government has approved them as “principal developer’ of defence equipment to be manufactured in India and exported to the US. These directors have created a web of more than 15 benami companies, mostly registered in Nagpur, said Police, adding that these companies are operating in Jaypee Vasant Continental Hotel, Vasant Vihar in Delhi.
PGurus had recently published a detailed report on this fraud company, VPVV Techno, on its various illegalities in printing fake US documents and cheating investors.[2]
The previous year, VPVV Techno launched a unit in Tamil Nadu claiming an Indo-US joint venture. The Week Magazine reported the mega fraud in detail done by VPVV Techno, which published a fake Indo-US deal in a Delhi press.[3]
