    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    On 11 October 2023, electoral bonds worth Rs 11 crore 14 thousand were purchased in the name of six members of a Dalit family from Anjar, a nondescript city in Gujarat’s Kutch district.

    A copy of the complaint seen by The Quint names Welspun Directors Vishwanathan Kollengode, Sanjay Gupta, Chintan Thaker, and Praveen Bhansali as the accused in the case along with Mahendrasinh Sodha (Senior General Manager at Welspun), Vimal Kishore Joshi (Anjar Land Acquisition Officer), and Hemant alias Danny Rajinikanth Shah (BJP’s Anjar City President).

    The Quint has seen bank receipts to corroborate details of dates on which money was first credited to the accounts of the family members and later debited at SBI’s Gandhinagar branch.

    Savakara, in his complaint, also alleged that BJP Anjar City President Hemant Rajinikanth Shah was part of these meetings.

    The total compensation was estimated to be close to Rs 76 crore but Welspun wasn’t willing to pay this huge sum.

    In this case, however, just before the process was about to lapse, Mehul Desai, then Deputy Collector of Kutch stepped in and re-negotiated the deal to bring the value of the land down to Rs 16,61,21,877 (sixteen crore sixty one lakh twenty one thousand eight hundred seventy seven)," Dafda further alleged.
