Controversy over leaking confidential letter: Rajesh Krishna committed fraud in name of CPM leaders, says complainant

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The complaint filed by a native of Kannur and Chennai-based industrialist Mohammed Sharshad against Rajesh Krishna, a former SFI district office bearer and from Pathanamthitta, to the CPM, was much discussed. In an interview given to a private channel, Sharshad said that no action has been taken so far on the complaint filed against Rajesh Krishna, a London-based industrialist, to the DGP in 2023.

Sharshad had filed a complaint alleging that Rajesh had created a paper company in the name of Kingdom and embezzled money from state government schemes. It was Rajesh Krishna who welcomed the chief minister to the masala bond fundraising event at the London Stock Exchange. This picture has been shared on social media. Sharshad lso alleged that Rajesh collected money from many showing this.

The complaint he had filed with the DGP in 2023 on the incident was also sent to the central income tax department by mail. Sharshad also informed that an investigation has been initiated in this regard. Sharshad said that although Rajesh Krishna is staying in London as a businessman, he has no business there and since he is in India most of the time, he has to pay taxes.

The political controversy erupted the other day when the complaint filed by Sharshad to the PB in 2021, was leaked. The accused and the complainant are close to the party and former workers.

Rajesh Krishna, who came to attend the CPM party congress held recently in Madurai as a delegate, had to return as he was not allowed to participate. The party was embarrassed by the fact that the letter was included as a document in the defamation case filed by Rajesh against the media that reported this. The Delhi High Court included the letter in the notice sent to the media, so it could not be denied.

Sharshad filed a complaint with CPM General Secretary M.A. Baby the other day against the leak of the letter. Muhammed Sharshad, who knew that Rajesh Krishna would be coming to Madurai as a representative, brought the matter to the attention of PB member Ashok Dhawle through leaders in Tamil Nadu. This led to his return. It is alleged that he embezzled money from government schemes in collaboration with some foreign paper firms and transferred this money to the accounts of leaders and ministers through a company registered in Chennai.
