I am not the kingpin, its Kolkata businessman: Telgi
Saturday, October 30 2004 20:26 Hrs (IST)

Pune: The prime accused in multi-crore stamp-paper scam, Abdul Karim Telgi today (Oct 30, 2004) gave a signed statement to his lawyer Harshad Nimbalkar in Special MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) court premises in Pune, stating that the kingpin in the case was not him but a businessman from Kolkata.

"In his statement, Telgi claimed that he was just a tool while the kingpin of the whole racket was Kolkata-based businessman Mohammed Sayeed Mohammed Yasin, who was involved in printing and sale of fake stamp papers," Nimbalkar told reporters later.

Telgi has also claimed that he has received threat to his life from one of the co-accused in Yerawada Jail, his lawyer said.

Besides, he has also said that cash and stamp papers have been stolen from the premises belonging to him and he has informed about this to the CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation). Telgi was brought to Special MCOCA court earlier in the day in connection with his plea for fresh narco-analysis test and brain mapping alleging that earlier one was "false and fabricated". The court, however, rejected his plea.
