119. 1. The crucial mechanism through which the scam was effected was the
ready forward (RF) deal. The RF is in essence a short-term loan from one
bank to another. Crudely put, the bank lends against government
securities just as a pawnbroker lends against jewellery In this settlement
process, the seller handed over the securities to the broker, who passed
them to the buyer, while the buyer gave the cheque to the broker, who
then made the payment to the seller. Another instrument used was the
Bank receipt (BR). In a ready forward deal, securities were not moved
back and forth in actuality. Instead, the borrower, i.e., the seller of
securities, gave the buyer of the securities a BR. It promises to deliver
the securities to the buyer. It also states that in the mean time, the
seller holds the securities in trust of the buyer. X got few banks to issue
him fake bank receipts using which he would borrow money from other
banks and invest it into shares thus causing the price of stocks to rise.
When time came to return the money, the shares were sold for a profit
and the BR was retired. The money due to the bank was returned. When
the scam was revealed, the Chairman of the Vijaya Bank committed
suicide by jumping from the office roof. ID X
122. 2. X set up by Jawaharlal Nehru in 1937 was the company that

Z is a private entity formed in the year 2002 to create a platform
for Young Indians. Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Vice-
President Rahul Gandhi, Congress leaders Motilal Vohra and
Oscar Fernandes are directors in this company.
P alleges that in 2011 the Congress Party extended a loan of 90
crores to the X.
This loan was apparently given to write off accumulated debts of X
and thereby restart Y which was closed in 2008.
In the meantime, Z proposed to take over the debt of over 90
crore in lieu of 99.1% shares being transferred to them.
Thereby Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi became owners of the
X.
P’s contention is that the X – Z deal was a sham, intended to grab
the Q- a property worth 1,600 crores he says.
