Jagran correspondent, Bareilly. The layers of the gang that launders Hawala money with the help of bogus firms are continuously being exposed. After the firm of kingpin Neetu came to light, the police found another firm which was shown to be registered in Nariawal. When the police searched that firm on internet media, it was shown to be registered in Nepal.
In such a situation, the police suspect that this is not a Nepali firm which has been registered in Bareilly and an attempt has been made to mislead. A police team is busy investigating him completely. The police is moving forward with its investigation into the hawala business. Anyway, many names are also coming forward. So far five such firms have come forward. In which transactions worth Rs 205 crore have been done.
All these firms were being operated in the name of mentha business, but in reality no mentha business was done through them, rather the hawala money was diverted under the guise of it. Another such fraudulent firm JL Traders has also come to light. This firm has been shown registered in Nariawal, but in reality there is no such firm there.
When the police cross-checked the information from the internet media, they found out that a firm with the same name was registered in Nepal. This has made the police even more suspicious. Police say that soon the names of more people will be revealed in this case. The police team is busy searching for them. Till now these firms have diverted Rs 205 crore of hawala money.
