Clarke Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 http://ibnlive.in.com/news/hasan-alis-link-to-gunrunning-terror-exposed/144946-3.html Documents with CNN-IBN showed that many of Hasan Ali's transactions involved Kolkata-based businessman Kashinath Tapuriah. Tapuriah is the younger brother of late Priyamvada Birla. An agreement signed in 2001 in Dubai, showed Hasan Ali and Tapuriah involved in many businesses on a 50-50 basis. The agreement also mentioned that two of Hasan Ali's companies - Autumn Holding Ltd and Payson Ltd - will pay $200 million to three companies owned by Tapuriah. The amount payable were $100 Million to Roberts, Maclean and Co Ltd; $65 million to RM Investment and Trading Company and $35 million to Roberts, Maclean Services Ltd. In an exclusive interview to CNN-IBN in Kolkata, Tapuriah said he was introduced to Hasan Ali by two former MPs, both from Andhra Pradesh. Tapuriah's wife Chandrika has also been slapped with Rs 20,000 crore Income Tax penalty. It was politicians who set up Tapuriah's meeting with Hasan Ali in the early 90s. Clearly, their political connections are so powerful that hardly any action has been taken against them till now.
