GOA GOVERNMENT EMBRACES A FUGITIVE? NAME THE PLAYERS IN TIME-OUT 72
By Aires Rodrigues A SAGA OF SUPPRESSION BY A COMPANY WITH DIRECTOR WITH CRIMINAL BACKGROUND? The Goa Forward Party and its Spokesman Trajano D’Mello which had been screaming from the rooftop and even going to Court over the permissions being given to dubious companies to hold the Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festivals, has now for obvious reasons gone silent after reportedly getting their palms well greased. The Goa Government after having been cheated earlier, to the tune of crores of rupees by two companies Percept Limited and Viacom, now this year, is giving permission an Ahmedabad company “Sudarshan Entertainment World LLP” to hold an EDM from December 27th to December 29th, 2017. According to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs this novice company Sudarshan Entertainment World LLP (LLPIN AAJ-18160) was incorporated as recently as on 18th of April 2017 with Vicky Rajkamal Bhardwaj (DIN 03298259) and Aayush Nikulbhai Mehta (DIN 076210920 as Directors. A search on the net will reveal that Vicky Rajkamal Bhardwaj is a co-Director of Zoriion Communication Pvt Ltd (CIN: U72900GJ2010PTC02960) and this company as well as Vicky Rajmakal Bhardwaj is having a very shady criminal record in the infamous Thane fake call-centre scam busted in 2016 and it is surprising that the Goa Government has chosen to do business with such a fugitive who had been absconding after the raid in October 2016. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/thane/Con-call-centre-kingpin-now-in-Azerbaijan-suspect-cops/articleshow/55135106.cms Vicky Rajkamal Bhardwaj along with the other two Directors of Zoriion Communication Pvt Ltd (and also the Company Zoriion Communication Pvt Ltd, have been indicted in the Court in USA viz. Houston Division, Southern District of Texas, United States District Court in Case No. Criminal No. 4:16-cr385-S for charges including criminal conspiracy, wire criminal conspiracy and money laundering etc. (link: https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/905882/download) Is the Indian Government silent on this? Has Goa Government not checked credentials of this company even by a simple web search? Is Goa going to be taken for another ride? In case of high security number plates, what did the Goa Government do? And now, why the double standards? Have these facts been disclosed to the State Government? THESE SUPPRESSION OF MATERIAL FACTS, SUPPRESSED, SHOULD ENTAIL CANCELLATION OF THE PERMISSIONS GRANTED. IF DISCLOSED, THEY SHOULD NEVER HAVE GOT THE PERMISSION SPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE NATURE OF THE INDICTMENT. Time-Out72: Things seem to get murkier A recent press conference on 14 November 2017 by Vaishal Shah claims that Time-Out72 will be held in Vagator, Goa, by WaterLemon Events and claims it is an initiative “by three live-event rookies from Ahmedabad” and claims that “Vaishal Shah formed WaterLemon Entertainment with passionate music lovers and friends, Aayush Mehta and Argha Chatterjee, who raised the capital for this venture by investing from their own money.” https://www.festivalsherpa.com/visionary-behind-timeout72-hours-festival-aims-promote-goa-tourism-vaishal-shah/ Aayush Shah does not figure in the List of Directors on the website of Ministry of Corporate Affairs as of date, of WaterLemon Events LLP. But don’t forget, he is the Director of Sudarshan Entertainment World LLP (LLPIN AAJ-18160). WHO IS VAISHAL SHAH? Is he connected with anyone within the BJP? How and when did he get involved with Sudarshan? Even his Company WaterLemon Entertainment LLP (LLPIN: AAJ-2289) was incorporated only on 21.04.2017! The people of our country and Goa need to know the machinations behind the scenes. Even how this sole application to remain was managed needs to be probed. Are we going to gift the rights to people with such record? That too, to please some politically connected persons? And for what behind-the-scenes fixings? Will Goa Forward step up demand the cancellation and a probe, if it has nothing to do with these players and no quid pro quo? Or will it be another Fot, Foting and Fotingponn, to be yet another blow to Goem, Goenkar and Goenkarponn. Trojano D’ Mello needs to speak up now and Goa Forward should make its slate clean...
