The CNN-IBN Special Investigation team has caught alleged hawala dealer Chetan Gupta making a stunning admission on camera.
Gupta says he was involved in money laundering operations for Natwar Singh and his wife Herminder Kumari.
“Normally what happen is that I would take the number from Natwar Singh or Mrs Natwar Singh and give it to Jatin Kothari. He would get the money transferred. They used to call me to say that the money has been transferred. I would wait for two days and then ask Natwar Singh to check that they received it or not. Once they confirmed that it is received, I would confirm it to Jatin,” reveals Gupta.
Gupta, a Delhi-based businessman, was arrested on May 17 by Punjab vigilance bureau in connection with the Rs 3,000 crore Ludhiana City Centre Scam.
CNN-IBN is in exclusive possession of a video testimony given by Chetan Gupta which says that Natwar Singh and his family parked their black money with him, which he then siphoned to their foreign bank accounts using a hawala broker and diamond merchant named Jatin Kothari.
The money was used to buy a flat for Natwar's wife who is former Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh's sister.
However, when contacted, Natwar Singh told CNN-IBN that he knew Chetan Gupta but denied placing any black money with Gupta or using his hawala network to transfer money to foreign bank accounts.
