DEHRADUN - An Indian court has refused bail to a member of the Gupta family, linked to orchestrating industrial-scale corruption in South Africa, in connection with allegedly abetting the suicide of a businessman.
Sawhney's son said he left a suicide note in which he accused the two men of threatening him.quoted director of prosecution Girish Pancholi as saying that Sawhney had accused Ajay and Anil Gupta of having"forced him to commit suicide" after filing"fake cases against him". In 2018, South African investigators said the Guptas colluded with ex-president Jacob Zuma to siphon off state assets under a system that, according to one estimate, cost several billion dollars.Last year, a Dubai court ruled against extraditing them to Pretoria on a technicality.
"Our Red Notice was for Atul and Rajesh Gupta. Whilst Ajay is indeed one of the Gupta brothers, he was not listed on the Red Notice sent to Interpol," he said, adding that Atul and Rajesh were most recently reported to still be in the UAE.
