He alleged Mukesh and Anil Ambani, Congress MP from Unnao Annu Tandon, the Dabur family and Naresh Goyal,founder of Jet Airways, of having accounts in HSBC Bank’s Geneva branch.
- He even accused the HSBC Bank of being involved in money laundering and demanded strict action against it for encouraging kidnapping, corruption and terrorism in the country.
- Kejriwal also raised questions about president Pranab Mukherjee, who, as Union finance minister, planned amnesty for all 700 Swiss account holders.
- The records(/proofs) were of December 2006 when details of these accounts were reportedly leaked by an insider to the French and German governments.
- According to Kejrival the government did not touch any of the “big names” on the list and only about 100-150 were raided, he alleged. “Why weren’t the others raided by the IT department and why didn’t the government seek all their accounts?” Kejriwal questioned.
- Kejirval also alleged that Annu Tandon(Congress MP), whose husband Sandeep Tandon worked closely with the Reliance Group before he passed away, had accounts in HSBC’s Geneva branch. Sandeep was a former IRS officer who raided the Reliance Group for alleged tax evasion in the 1980s. He however, himself joined the reliance group after resigning from service and rose through the ranks rapidly to become a trusted lieutenant of Dhirubhai Ambani.
- Annu Tandon's affidavit filed with the Election Commission(EC) of India before the 2009 general elections does not show any such account(i.e account is hidden from EC) .
