Controversial media baron Raghav Bahl, who was caught for money laundering and tax evasion and stock exchange manipulation, seems to have come up with a new trick[1]. He recently acquired a little known stock exchange-listed firm Gaurav Mercantiles Limited and selling his own controversial firm Quintillion Media Private Limited, which owns the website The Quint. Is this not a trick to fool the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Income Tax which has caught Raghav Bahl for money laundering? Otherwise, why sell his company to another of his own company?
Gaurav Mercantiles Limited has informed Stock Exchanges that their Board Meeting is convened for July 17 to discuss the acquisition of Quintillion Media Private Limited, which owns the website The Quint. The Quint is fully owned by Raghav Bahl and wife Ritu Kapur. In January, Raghav Bahl acquired more than 56.05% and wife Ritu Kapur acquired 10.37% in the little known firm Gaurav Mercantiles Limited. So in a nutshell, the husband and wife selling their old company to their new company. This is nothing but illegal round tripping when they were facing prosecution from Income Tax and Enforcement Directorate.
Another interesting aspect is that this little known Gaurav Mercantiles Ltd was traded around Rs.20 and after Raghav Bahl’s acquisition in January the share prices started shooting up and the current price is Rs.127. How come such a huge increase from Rs.20 to Rs.127? This too has to be probed by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), ED and Income Tax.
PGurus reported several articles on Raghav Bahl’s money laundering and frauds using the mask of media activities1. This is not the first time that Bahl is caught for dubious activities in stock exchanges. His activities to rig the shares of PMC Fincorp were reported in detail[2]. Raghav Bahl’s name was also involved in the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) violations involving the former corrupt Finance Minister P Chidambaram[3].

Can give 100s of companies who are using such dubious route & jacking up prices on stock market. It has been happening for over 40 years now. The SEBI & stock market experts are all blind to it for they also make money in that process.
So many business channels but NOT one who could sense the scam or scandal or money laundering
Raghav Bahl, suspiciously White skinned for heat of India (and Pakistan from where he slithered in India in 1947), can try to fool others, but not easy with Team PGurus. Raghav Bahl- dubious White skin creates a genetic lumpen Racist, Nazi, bigoted thug but never provides IQ or HQ (Human Quotient). Raghav Bahl slithered into India as a beggar, he acquired all his ill begotten wealth by looting native Indians and doing Hawala and money laundering for terrorists and worse selling pre puberty Indian girls to White skinned pedophiles, like all Pakipanjabis
