I fully support the Indian call centers to scam the money back to their homeland. Bravo!
the reverse in happening, many high profile Indian business criminals have found refuge and a safe place to park their illegally acquired wealth to enjoy a happy and peaceful life in London.
UK is a favourite destination for India’s fugitives
Billionaire fraudsters, besides those accused of economic offences, terrorism, and other crimes in India, seem to prefer the United Kingdom as a destination to seek refuge.
On June 10, the Financial Times newspaper reported that diamantaire Nirav Modi, accused of perpetrating a $2 billion fraud, the biggest in Indian banking history, has applied for political asylum in that country. Modi, on the run even before the fraud was first reported in January, now alleges political persecution in India where a non-bailable warrant has been issued against him and his uncle Mehul Choksi, a partner in his alleged crime.
The UK is believed to be the top choice among such persons the world over since its legal system grants significant importance to human rights,
according to legal experts. Since 2013,
over 5,500 Indians have applied for refugee status in the UK. Here are some of the famous Indians :
Vijay Mallya: The poster boy of Indian defaulters; he fled
the country in 2016 after having failed to repay Rs9,000 crore
borrowed from 17 banks. The flamboyant former liquor baron, too, has alleged that he was
being targeted by vested interests in India.
Lalit Modi: He created India’s most-watched sporting event till date, the multi-billion dollar Indian Premier League. In 2010, he was accused of corruption, money-laundering, and financial irregularities. Over
two dozen cases have been filed against him by various agencies. Modi has been in
London since 2010.
Sanjeev Chawla: The main bookie in the match-fixing scandal of 2000 involving South African cricket team captain Hanse Cronje. Chawla has been living in the
UK since 1996.
Ravi Shankaran:
A former naval officer charged with military espionage for leaking classified information. In 2006, the Central Bureau of Investigation
booked Shankaran who’s been absconding since then.
