SM Krishna’s son-in-law named in Panama Papers scam: S.R Hiremath
Hubballi, September 14: Social activist and senior advocate S.R Hiremath alleged that the name of Umesh Mohan Hingorani, the second son-in-law of former chief minister S.M Krishna, was mentioned in the Panama Papers which leaked the details of ill-gotten assets of noted personalities of the country and abroad.
Speaking to reporters here on Friday, Hiremath said that Umesh Mohan has invested illegally in England. He was an employee in UB Company and how did such a person get so much of money to invest in foreign country in the name of SDU Ventures? He has eight companies in his names and all the companies have Bengaluru address. He would write to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Arun Jaitley to conduct a high-level probe from an independent agency, he said.
When Umesh Mohan started his company in the foreign country, S.M Krishna was the Foreign Affairs Minister. So, it was a serious issue and the truth could come out from an impartial investigation. The names of many international leaders including former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif and others were leaked. But he was shocked to see the name of Umesh Mohan in the list, he said.
