Indian Shaikh Wants Journalist to be Sacked. How the Local Partner was Cheated by the Indian Business Tycoons Investigation is going on against the Indian businessman and his family members who have allegedly cheated their Arab business partners in a multi million-hotel project and other businesses. The Gujarathi businessman was one of the main partners with an influential business group in the hotel project. The project involved a total investment of $26.25 million (Equivalent to more than Hundred Crores of Indian Rupees?) financed with an equity capital of $7.5 million. Te founder shareholders including the Gujarathi businessman had subscribed to 60 per cent of the share capital ($4.5 million). However, one of the reasons for the investigation is an allegation that the construction cost of the hotel has been highly inflated and many items, which are shown as imported specially for the projects are procured from the local market! It is learned that the project was handled by a construction company with strong links to the Gujarthi business family. Surprisingly, it is alleged that the Gujarathi businessman who took a leading role in promoting the hotel project hurriedly sold his share and got out of a loss making venture leaving the financial burden of liabilities and bank borrowings to the local partners!

Investigation against major Indian business tycoons At least four members of an Indian business family settled in a Gulf country are facing high level investigation for allegedly cheating some influential people. According to reliable sources, four members of a north Indian business family who have the citizenship of the host country are under the custody of investigative agencies for allegedly cheating and money swindling from major projects, including a hotel project. Those facing investigation include the second and third son of a popular North Indian businessman who are actively engaged in business and community activities.
