Lest We Forget - Nagarwala Mystery 1971

Capt Nagarwala, a close confidant of Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister, withdrew lakhs of rupees from the secret chests of State Bank of India Parliament Street New Delhi, the account being numberless. Chief Cashier of the branch Mr. Malhotra readily gave the cash to Nagarwala allegedly on instructions of Indira Ji. The story thus goes that he imitated the voice of PM to tell Malhotra to pay Nagarwala Rs. 9 lakhs. Soon there was hot chase and Nagarwala was nabbed, cash recovered and ‘restored’ to the rightful owner. In the process Malhotra was fired from Bank service for gross violation of ‘rules’.

But then it is possible that two and two make five. Soon Malhotra became the Chief Security Officer of the Maruti Udyog Ltd then owned by Sanjay Gandhi! He also found himself rewarded with many licenses for plying buses and matadors on Delhi roads for owning everything but the money. See the linkage of the heritage?

Incidentally, CBI Deputy Director Madhvan who had almost reached the end-users was fired half way through the enquiry even as Nagarwala was sent to mental ward in GB Pant Hospital and of course ‘died’. The police party led by an SP who enquired into the Nagarwala case was shown having perished in accident with truck!


Jai Ho!!!!!!! Congress Party
