CA Arrested with 1 Cr. Rupees in Sirohi District – the hub for exchanging Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 Currency Notes.
Sirohi District of Rajasthan has become the largest center for exchange of Rs.500 – 1000 banned notes in the country. A CA was arrested with Rs. 1 Crore banned notes from Abu Road in Sirohi District due to activeness of Police Circle Officer Preeti Kankani, Income Tax Department was also promptly informed about the seizure of Rs. 1 Crore banned notes by police department. Along with CA, three others of this group including a person connected to Adarsh Co-operative Bank Limited of Sirohi (having head office at Sirohi) and two Municipal Members were also arrested.
It is remarkable that Sirohi District of Rajasthan is one of the largest center across the India for Credit Co-Operative Societies and Co-Operative Banks. This is the reason that banned notes are being openly exchanged here at a discount of 25 – 35%.
The matter came up due to a complaint by an American Citizen and Brahamkumar Mr. Mark who is a member / follower of an International Socio-Religious Institution based in Mount Abu and Abu Road. Mr. Mark had tied up with CA Vineet Mantri at Abu Road for exchange of banned note worth Rs. 1 Crore and got the banned notes delivered to CA. But due to fear of exposure of exchange business being conducted in Sirohi, the business was slowed down and it was taking little time for exchanging banned notes of Mr. Mark.
Now with the fear of losing his or institution’s money, American Resident Mr. Mark made a police complaint. After the complaint as an action Police arrested CA Mantri and three others with banned notes. In this case it is also coming out as possibility that due to differences amongst the members / workers of the International Socio-Religious Institution OR involved four persons about the money involved; on purpose complaint is filed under the name of Mr. Mark
After this incidence, those involved in the exchange of banned notes business are terrified and have gone underground. Only after honest investigations with CA Mantri it will be known who the true owner of the banned notes was and who wanted to exchange these notes and which is the source of exchange. This matter may either be suppressed or there may be some important unearthing. For the time being, all arrested persons have been released on bail and American Citizen and Brahamkumar Mr. Mark has been bound for not leaving the India.
