GURGAON: A major problem with greed is that it prevents people from using their intelligence fully. And Shiv Raj Puri soft-talked and hard-tapped his way into that vice with a vengeance: in the last few years, Puri opened 78 accounts in his name and in the names of his grand parents, Premnath Puri and Sheela Premnath Puri and in the name of his mother, Deeksha Puri. They all are co-accused along with Puri.
The accounts are with different financial institutions including banks and brokerage houses spread across Gurgaon, Delhi and Kolkata.
Religare, Bonanza and India Infoline figure in the list. The banks are SBI, HDFC, Standard Chartered, PNB, Axis and ABN-Amro.
According to police commissioner SS Deswal, notices have been issued to the banks to seize all the accounts. “We have formed five special teams to investigate the case. And we are hot on Puri’s trail.”
