Sales In Name Of Deceased Members And Forged Delhi Gymkhana Liquor License – High Court Directs For EOW Report On Allegations Of Bid To Supress Crimes

Delhi Gymkhana Club’s financial frauds, thefts and corruption cover up allegations have again put Club Chairman Malay Sinha in the spotlight. Delhi High Court has directed Delhi Police EOW to file report in 4 weeks on forgery in liquor license application and use of dead members cards for billings. This has increased problems of DGCoA appointed Board. Even EOW is in controversy on allegations that its officials, instead of acting strictly are actually trying to bury the crimes.

This is the Conspiracy

The long time Gymkhana Club’s financial irregularities and corruption of near Rs 50 Crores public funds, came out on 15 February 2021 when NCLAT Principal Bench ordered Ministry of Corporate Affairs to appoint Administrator to stop them. But 2nd Administrator Vinod Yadav was removed on complaints. Then Om Pathak got to be appointed who became mired in more corruption. Flouting all rules he took Free membership and not just this in March 2022 Davis Cup Tournament he was alleged by members to have done criminal frauds in Crores.

New NCLT Committee doing cover up

In this controversy, NCLT on 1 April 2022 directed DGCoA to appoint 15 directors in place of Pathak. But DGCoA appointed only 6 who had to take action against violations found by NCLT. One of them resigned on seeing start of corruption cover up but committee Chairman Malay Sinha concealed it from Corporate Affairs Ministry to keep taking wrong decisions against rules and NCLT orders. Club ex Secretary Col Khanna informed Ministry of this resignation, alleging that Secretary Ashish Verma and F&B manager Rajesh Bhatnagar had criminally flown Drone endangering PM house on which no Investigation or action is being done.

Continuing grave allegations

In Delhi High Court hearing on 31 July, it was alleged billings are being done in name of Dead members which had been caught by 11 November 2022 Forensic Audit. But Malay Sinha covered it up. Not only this on 22 August 2022 for renewal of Liquor Excise license fake documents and decalarations were made. Delhi Excise Department knowingly ignored the forgery to take no action. Role of Chairman Malay Sinha is in serious scrutiny. Allegation is that he has covered up forgery of ex Secretay JP Singh’s membership. Instead of taking legal action on Om Pathak’s self gifted membership and nearly 8 Crores fraud in Davis Cup sponsorship he has put the fraud in cold store. Not only this he got removed Forensic security alarm of Dead members cards being used and did parties for political persons. Shockingly from April 2022, favored special lawyers have been distributed nearly 2.5 Crores in garb of fees.

High Court demands EOW Report

In the hearing the issue of Forensic Audit security alarm of Dead members cards usage being tampered and false declarations in Excise license application was raised. On the serious allegations Justice Vikas Mahajan directed Delhi Police EOW for investigation report in 4 weeks. After this Club member groups are hopeful that EOW will register FIR against the accused.
