Press Statement By Industrialist Raj Kundra Against False Allegations

Press Statement By Industrialist Raj Kundra Against False Allegations

To whomsoever, it may concern

It is to state that the claims made by the so-called NRI or Gutka Baron’s son (as the media terms him) namely Mr. Sachin Joshi is totally false and frivolous. I would like to clarify the news doing the rounds and blatantly picked up by other news agencies without verifying the facts with other parties involved. This act of Mr. Sachin Joshi is yet another attempt to malign and tarnish my image and reputation in the country. He has made several attempts before earlier so this is nothing new.

I would like to put on record that one company Satyug Gold Pvt. Ltd. in which I was an investor and director had launched a gold plan to provide gold to customers. The details of the scheme are not elaborated for the brevity of the matter. Every single order received from 100’s of customers since their inception has been fulfilled without a single complaint.

However, Mr. Sachin feels that the best way to get his gold is by filing a police complaint and media statements rather than collecting his gold from our offices or contacting us. As stated in the letter sent to police and at Mr. Sachin’s residential address we state again that Mr. Sachin Joshi’s gold is kept secured and he can collect his gold after complying with the terms and conditions and paying the balance due of Rs.17,35,000/- for which everything is mentioned in the T&C on the website. This matter is nothing more than revenge because of a cheque bouncing case against Mr. Joshi. In the past, he bounced cheques amounting to Rs. 40 lakhs against his purchase of a team in one of my sporting events. With regard to the unavailability and change of the office, I would like to clarify that our current address has been mentioned on our website. There has not been one instance where any of our customers faced difficulty reaching out to us other than Mr. Joshi or his claims.

I would appreciate if all media personnel verify facts before publishing such news as it ultimately proves out to be incorrect.

 

Thanking You

Jai Hind

VIVAAN SHAH WALKS ON HIS FATHER’S FOOT STEPS & CHOOSES A FILM KABAAD- THE COIN UNEXPLORED IN INDIAN CINEMA SO FAR

VIVAAN SHAH WALKS ON HIS FATHER’S FOOT STEPS & CHOOSES A FILM KABAAD- THE COIN UNEXPLORED IN INDIAN CINEMA SO FAR

From 7 Khoon Maaf to Laali Ki Shaadi Mein Laaddoo Deewana, Vivaan Shah’s  films prove that we now have an actor who can masterfully balance between content-driven and commercial cinema. His recent film “Kabaad- The Coin” under the Banner- MBN Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, Directed by –  Varadraj Swami, Produced by-  Meena Negi, Babban Negi, Co-Produced by- Deepak Prajapat, Babban Negi is also another out-of-the-box script.    
Playing a Ragman (Kabadi) in the film, Vivaan took 90 days to understand & adapt the nuances & play the role to his utmost perfection. Vivaan along with the director Varadraj Swami used to interact with Ragmans to get in the skin of his character. Infact, Vivaan invited his mother Ratna Pathak on the sets of the film to show her how he is shaping his character. Vivaan also tanned himself to look like the character.
Calling Vivaan a director’s delight, Varadraj Swami, who has penned the critically acclaimed film Manjhi the mountain says “Acting runes in his blood. He comes from a family of brilliant actors. It is commendable that so early in his career, he is eager to experiment with his roles & choose character that explore his credentials as an actor. He is a director’s delight. His ideology is rare & genius, just like his father”

    
Known to pick unconventional story lines every time he signs a film, Vivaan Shah says “Trying to play a kabaadiwala was a fascinating process. We have all observed hatgaadi pullers on the road in our everyday life, but to truly replicate the nuances, body language and cadences of a Ragman required some focussed study and observation. The way they pull the cart, or the calls they send out across the streets in order to sell their wares. It is all very specific and needed to be replicated authentically” further adds “In these I played a servant boy, a driver, a waiter and a Dalit respectively. I would say Kabaad- The Coin belongs to a similar category where it has a ploretarian hero. I find that more interesting than playing a big city boy or a privileged person. The director Vardraj Swami and the writer Shahzad Ahmed were of invaluable help to me in trying to render true the nuances, speech, and practices of a kabaadiwala. Also what the three of us had fun with was the Bumbaiya language. I’m playing a Maharashtrian character called Bandhan and I just had a blast speaking in Bumbaiya because that is the language I have grown up speaking with my friends on the street. It’s a vernacular I am deeply familiar with and hopefully I have been able to represent it authentically in the film”
“I love both realistic and slightly fantastic cinema. It was an immense challenge to play a character that was outside the realm of my experience and also from a different strata of society. I’ve played working class character about 4 times now. In 7 Khoon Maaf, Bombay Velvet, Laali ki shaadi mein laddoo Deewana and Coat” says Vivaan Shah

The film also stars Zoya Afroz , Abhishek Bajaj, Atul Srivastava, Bhagwan Tiwari,Imran Hasnee, Yashashri Masurkar.

  • Before making an RTI Application, whether the Bank has taken any information from the borrower regarding title of the property? Also whether the Bank had verified the title documents of the property from borrower before sanctioning the said loan?
  • Since the Bank alleges before the DRT that the said loan was a secured loan, then had either the company or Mr. Bhupendra given the Title Documents of the said property to the Bank for creating mortgage?
  • Whether the RTI application was filed deliberately despite knowing the true fact about ownership of the said Premises / property and just to prepare fabricating documents with malafide intention to malign and harm the reputation of Mr. Bhupendra Bagla?
  • Whether lease documents of the said Premises were not shared by the said company and Cogent EMR Solutions Limited with Kotak Bank at the time of loan sanctioned?
  • When the said Premises was/is situated at Okhla, South East Delhi jurisdiction then why the complaint for cheating, criminal breach of trust, dishonest misappropriation of property etc. was lodged on 17.09.2009 at Police Station Barakhamba Road, New Delhi and at whose behest?

Whether Mr. Uday Suresh Kotak, Chairman and Managing Director and Mr. Anand G. Mahindra, Director of the Kotak Bank were present in the said Board Meeting held on 25.03.2009? Who were present in the Board Meeting when the said resolution was passed?
  • Whether the said Board Resolution dated 25.03.2009 was taken on record i.e. the same was duly incorporated in Board’s Minute Book? Who all had signed the Minutes?
  • What was the agenda for the Board Meeting to pass the said Board Resolution?
  • Kotak Mahindra Bank has mentioned in its complaint dated 17.09.2009 that ‘accused no. 1 (i.e. Mr. Bhupendra Bagla) approached the Complainant Bank at UGF 1-11, Amardeep Building, 14 Kasturba Gandi Marg, New Delhi-11001 to avail short term business loan vide agreement no. 167543 dated 25/08/2009. Don’t you think that the same is contradictory version as the sanctioning branch of the said loan facility was D-10, No. 1, 2, Local Shopping Centre Vasant Vihar, D Block, New Delhi-37 and notice to re-call the entire loan amount dated 12.11.2008 was issued from the said address?
  • Kotak Mahindra Bank has mentioned in the complaint dated 17.09.2009 that all the accused persons are guilty of commission of offence of cheating by first obtaining the aforesaid mentioned loan amount by way of misrepresentation and wrong warranties particularly by executing a forged power of attorney and false affidavit thereby cheating the first charge of the Bank against the said loan over property Cogent Matrix, E-41/4, Okhla Industrial Area, Phase-II, New Delhi-110020 falsely claiming to be the owner of the said property which he was not. Now question arises, whether any charge was registered with Registrar of Companies or Sub-registrar office, Delhi in respect of the alleged mortgaging of the said Premises/Property in favour of your Bank?
  • Whether mortgage of any immovable property, registration of charge is compulsory or not?
  • Had Kotak Mahindra Bank asked the company or Mr. Bhupendra Bagla to create charge in ROC? If not, why?
  • If charge was not registered, can it be understood that Bank had not complied with all the legal formalities in respect of mortgaging the said property/Premises?
  • Whether these two documents i.e. affidavit and power of attorney both dated 24.08.2007, were signed by Mr. Bhupendra Bagla? If yes, in whose presence?
  • Whether these two documents i.e. affidavit and power of attorney both dated 24.08.2007, were part of the loan documents or executed separately?
  • If it is presumed that Affidavit dated 24.08.2009 was signed and given by Mr. Bhupendra Bagla, whether Kotak Mahindra Bank had read and confirmed the language of that affidavit? It is mentioned in the affidavit- ‘that I have availed financial facilities from Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd.(KMBL) vide agreement dated Aug 24, 2007 and in pursuance of such an agreement, I have agreed to provide KMBL charge over the said property in such form and manner as KMBL may require. Isn’t this language of the affidavit is contradictory as the loan was taken by the said company and not by Mr. Bhupendra Bagla?
  • Had not Kotak Bank clarified to the said Company by way of a letter dated 12/09/2009 that the loan sanctioned was without any collateral security and loan was an unsecured loan?
  • By simple reading of the language of the said letter dated 12/09/2009, it seems that the Bank had no knowledge, how the property was mortgaged for a loan?

The said letter stated – “during the meeting, after due deliberations and clarification furnished by you, it is cleared that property bearing no. E-41/4 Ground Floor Okhla Industrial Area, Phase-II, New Delhi-110020 is not mortgage or hypothecated to our Bank. It is clarified that the loan otherwise also is an unsecured loan. It is further clarified that it is because of the reason that the loan is an unsecured loan that we have not proceeded against any property including the one detailed herein above treating it to be a security/mortgage for the said loan under SERFAESI.”

By the said letter dated 12/09/.2009, the identity of the Bank in itself is doubtful –

  • Bank said that client has clarified to them that property was not mortgage in favour of Bank. It means when loan was given by Bank, Bank had no knowledge that the loan property was mortgaged or not!!
  • Bank was saying that client had clarified to them that loan was unsecured loan. It means when loan was given by Bank, Bank had no knowledge that the loan was secured or unsecured!!!
  • Bank was saying that client had clarified to them that loan is unsecured loan and property was not mortgaged in favour of Bank, therefore they did not proceed against the property whereas they had filed an OA before the Debt Recovery Tribunal!!!
  • Now, what sort of due diligence was done by the Bank at the time of sanctioning the said loan facility!!!
  • The Bank on 11/11/2009, in response to the notice u/s 91 of Cr.PC, on the landlord’s (Mr. Virendra Sharma) complaint had said that loan was secured loan whereas the very next day the Bank in a letter dated 12/11/2019 to the company wrote that the loan was unsecured one. Why such contradiction and what the Bank and its officials have to say on it?

Despite of the above questions which remained unanswered, there are also further question regarding governance in banking systems and involvement of good corporate in White Colour Crimes. The applicants are aware that today, Mr. Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, is a well-known name in the corporate world, not just in India but in the entire World. Honoured with about one and a half dozen awards such as (outstanding contribution in the business field, Knight of the Order of Merit’ by the President of the French Republic, Leadership Award by American India Foundation, Business Leader Award for the year award, Harvard Business School Alumni Achievement Award, Business Leader of the Year 2011, Global Leadership Award, Sustainable Development Leadership Award etc.), We are also aware that Mr. Mahindra gave one lakh rupees to Mr. Uday Kotak in 1985 to start a business. Uday Kotak also did not disappoint him & after 2003 Kotak Mahindra Bank was placed in some of the leading banks in India.

But with this success, some critical questions also started to arise against Mr. Uday S. Kotak and Mr. Anand Mahindra. Does success mean ruining a weak and small businessman? Can success be achieved only by conspiracy, cheating, forgery etc? Where did those values and ethics went that Uday Kotak discredit Mr. Anand Mahindra, which led to his separation from Kotak Mahindra Bank? Today all these questions are haunting Mr. Uday Kotak, and possibly he has no answer.

Why Mr. Anand Mahindra was ceased to be a promoter of Kotak Mahindra bank in 2013 but continue as a non-executive director? The board of Kotak Mahindra Bank has already approved the exit of Mr. Anand Mahindra as a promoter as per his request. What was the reason for this silent exit?

The Kotak and Mahindras started Kotak Mahindra Bank as a joint venture in 2003 because there are many conditions that a bank have to fulfill for obtaining licenses from RBI and at that time none of them was in the position to fulfill all those conditions solely that’s why they jointly formed Kotak Mahindra group. But in 2009 Mr. Anand Mahindra get separated from Kotak Mahindra due to some managerial issues.

Mr. Uday S. Kotak always talks about Value and ethics in business. But in practice, he does exactly the opposite. Certainly trade means profit making to him. But business doesn’t mean fierce competition, ruining the other, conspiring and trapping the opponent etc which is in vogue these days for Kotak Bank. This creates feeling of insecurity and leads to crime. Kotak Mahindra Bank and its M.D. Mr. Uday S. Kotak did the same thing through a conspiracy against a prominent businessman Dr. Bagla and his family and has ruined them completely. Today, the Bagla family is acquitted / discharged with respect from the said false and frivolous case of Kotak Mahindra Bank after a lengthy legal process (about 10 years). Again after the order of MM, An FIR has also been filed against Kotak Mahindra Bank and its M.D Uday Kotak including others. But who would understand the pain of the loss suffered by Dr. Santosh Kumar Bagla’s family in the last 10 years in every way.

Of course today, with many new enticing promises, they are moving forward by losing value and ethics, ruining many people like Dr. Bagla, but many cases have been registered against them, too. Mr. Uday Kotak owes his success not just to his hard work but also to Mr. Anand Mahindra. But did they share all these things?

It is further submitted that the undersigned is not well since last several years and because of my continuing and deteriorating health conditions and blocking of huge investment in various companies/projects, pressure of creditors and investors have aggravated my health. I am suffering from extreme fragility of health and have developed Hypertension, Ischeamic Heart Disease, Diabetes, Anxiety, Insomnia, Angina Pectoris, Spondolytis, Lower Back Pain in the Lumbar region of Spine and is under treatment of the panel of Doctors.

It is stated that the harassment on the part of Kotak Mahindra Bank, its officials and another and protracted litigation further resulted undersigned’s felling sick and going into acute depression. The undersigned being apprehensive of danger to my life and liberty, therefore, has even sought for providing security to me and my family and in this regard, we have also written to Ministry of Home Affairs/ Delhi Police.

Further, the undersigned have learnt that the officials of Kotak Bank and their associates are now indulging in spreading false and mischievous information that Bagla family is making false claims and there are lot of litigations pending against them. Some persons connected to Kotak Mahindra Bank are even threatening Bagla family for filing complaints and sending notice. All this is being made only to bring disrepute to Bagla family as there is no case pending against the undersigned and his family members as on date. We are in the process of taking appropriate legal action against such bullying and intention to bring disrepute to Bagla family.

Sir, after the registration of FIR against Kotak Mahindra Bank and its officials, including your goodself, the issue has already been highlighted in the media. We are restraining ourselves to approach the media as we have utmost regards for your goodself and the Mahindra Group of companies.  We seek an appropriate concern and redressal of our matter at your end.

In view of the above, the applicants highly regrets that no reply has been given in respect of the Legal Notice of Applicants dated 13/08/2019 by Kotak Mahindra Bank and 19.12.2019 by your goodself and no steps are taken to redress the grievances of the undersigned. Now, the Applicants suggests and request that being at the helm of affairs of Kotak Mahindra Bank at a certain point of time, please reply to all the queries we have raised hereinabove and if you are not involved in the above conspiracy, then please give appropriate directions for an investigation in the matter to  the concerned officials of your Bank and give a suitable time to the applicants to have a meeting with you so that the applicants is able to put before you all the evidences and explanations in this regard.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,

(Dr. Santosh Kumar Bagla)

For Self and on behalf of

The complainants.
