PRESS RELEASE

July 5, 2018 | New Delhi

Statement Issued by Shri ShaktisinhGohil, Spokesperson, AICC

A Massive Bitcoin Scam of more than ₹5000 Cr has surfaced in Gujarat

BJP has become a platform for ‘Black Money conversion’, ‘Extortion’&‘Hawala Transactions’

Shri Modi’s Demonetisation was a cover to convert ‘Black Money’ to ‘White’

BJP hit a jackpot in the form of Demonetisation, which it used as an alibi to convert ‘Black Money’ into ‘White in Gujarat.  Even as the BJP scrambles for answers of how Ahmedabad District Cooperative Bank (ADCB), whose director is BJP President, Shri Amit Shah received old currency worth ₹745.58 Cr in just 5 days and how ₹3118.51 Cr were deposited in 11 district co-operative banks linked with BJP leaders in Gujarat itself- A new ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’ worth more than ₹5000 Cr has been unraveled in Gujarat. The finger of suspicion of this massive Scam of illegal cryptocurrency directly points to Several top BJP leaders and a “mastermind’ – an absconding BJP leader &Ex- MLA, Shri NalinKotadiya.

The modus operandi of this scam is multi layered and is like a Pandora’s Box – whereby illegal ‘Hawala transactions’, ‘Kidnappings’, ‘Extortion of Crypto Currency’ using CBI/Police/Govt authorities at the behest of top BJP leaders in Gujarat is a norm.

The menacing maze of this ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’ has been estimated by the Gujarat CID as more than ₹5000 Cr, although many vernacular news reports and independent blogs on the internet place the value of these massive illegalities as Rs 88,000 Cr

FACTUAL MATRIX

  1. ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’ began from a complaint made to Gujarat’s MoS Home, Shri PradeepsinhJadejawho himself has deep links with the absconder BJP leader & Ex MLA, Shri NalinKotadiaby one Shailesh Bhatt against Gujarat’s Amreli district Police whereby the Police extorted 200 bitcoins (₹10 Cr) and demanded ₹32 crores in cash. (Please See FIR as Annexure A1)
  2. Investigation agencies found that the CCTV footage of Amreli district police extorting this were true, thereby Amreli Police SP Jagdish Patel and Police Inspector Anant Patel with his accomplice PI and 10 constables were then arrested. The CID then discovered that the mastermind of this ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’ was none less than the BJP leader & Ex MLA, Shri NalinKotadiya.
  3. Even as the Police/CID searches the whereabouts of the mastermind Shri NalinKotadiya, he is now absconding but a video of him saying that if he is arrested, then he will reveal damning evidences which would expose top BJP leaders in the state- who were converting ‘Black Money’ to ‘White’ in this entire saga of dirty money, during Demonetisation.
  4. CID Crime, Gujarat is trying to pressurize the witnesses of this case for political reasons known to them. Surprisingly, a second complaint filed by the CID crime (Please Annexure A 2) wherein the main accused is now Shailesh Bhatt was sufferer in the initial case. Instead of making him the complainant in the first case, the CID at the behest of MoS Home, made the police ‘the complainant’.
  5. Shockingly enough, Shailesh Bhatt kidnapped one PiyushSavalia who was associated with Bitconnect on 30th January and released two days later. Shailesh Bhatt then kidnapped DhavalMavani who was able to transfer 2256 bitcoins worth ₹131 crores to Shailesh Bhatt securing his release. Bhatt secured another ₹10 crores worth bitcoins before being stung by Amreli Police.
  6. It is intriguing that the Modi Government sends in CBI/ED/Govt authorities to hound Gujarat Congress MLA’s as well Karnataka Congress candidates during Karnataka elections, when the Code of Conduct is on but does not bother to investigate this ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’- whereby absconding mastermind BJP leader, Shri Kotadiya himself has made serious allegations of how top BJP leaders are linked with this entire sage of illicit money transactions!

 

QUESTIONS:-

 

  1. At whose behest did theAmreli Police extort bitcoins and moneys through middlemen from investors? Why did the investigation agencies not make ShaileshBhatt , as a ‘complainant’ in the FIR that was filed in the first case?
  2. Complainant has himself stated in his statement that CBI inspector, Shri Sunil Nair extorted ₹5 Cr from him to not initiate any action. Why is Shri Sunil Nair has not been made an accused but only transferred from Gujarat to North East?
  3. Who are the ‘Top BJP leaders’, against whom, Shri NalinKotadiya has damning evidence?
  4. Why are the CBI/ED/Central Authorities not investigating this ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’? Who are they sheltering? What is the cover-up?
  5. Was Modiji’sDemonetisation used to cover to convert ‘Black Money’ to ‘White’ by BJP leaders in Gujarat and dupe investors through multiple extortion of illicit money?
  6. If Modi Govt can send CBI/ED to investigate Congress leaders in Karnataka, before & during elections, what prevents them from investigating their own?

We demand an impartial Supreme Court monitored Judicial Invetigation in this maze of ‘Mega Bitcoin Scam’so that the truth comes out
