“It was alleged after the tax raids that Ponty was tipped off by a contact in the IT department. No cash was found, causing acute embarrassment to the tax sleuths. However, police sources suspect the alleged stash of Rs 200 crore was handed over to Namdhari for safekeeping,” said a report published in the Times of India.
“Ponty is also suspected to have made large real estate deals in Namdhari's name, including a 50-acre purchase in Uttarakhand. Police now want to find out whether the thought of having to return the cash and properties to Ponty made Namdhari plot against him,” the article added.
Police also believe the sacked minorities commission chairman of Uttarakhand deliberately killed Hardeep Singh Chadha, the younger brother of Ponty Chadha.
According to another report from the Hindustan Times: “Namdhari never made eye contact with the police during interrogation and never showed any emotion. Namdhari had helped Ponty in grabbing over a dozen properties in Uttarakhand
“Monty Chadha's PSO Satnam, who was arrested on Thursday, said Namdhari was pressuring Ponty to act against his brother,” according to the report.
Namdhari has admitted that he wanted to play the pivotal role in Ponty’s businesses and the fact that he wanted to come out of the former’s shadow.
