New Delhi, Nov 7 (TIWN) The twisted route of shady dealings and corporate rip off by femme fatale in India has shattered many myths.

 Wizard in their rights, these women not only gave sleuths a run for their money nearly managing to give them the slip but even managed to keep their loved ones in the dark about their amibitions and desire. They pulled off brutal crimes including murdering one''s own child.  On Wednesday, one of these femme fatale Honeypreet Insan, the adopted daughter of jailed Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim and famously known as "Papa''s Angel", was granted bail in the 2017 Panchkula violence case.  Honeypreet managed all the money and business dealings of Ram Rahim while he ruled over millions in India and abroad. 

The women though who tops the list is Indrani Mukerjea -- a name most vilified for strangling her own daughter, while there is a surprise entry that has emerged out of obscurity is Madi Sharma, an International Broker.  Then there is Yasmin Kapoor who came into limelight after she was caught by the Indian federal investigative agencies two months ago in Aviation scam case.  Also we have Sonia Dhawan, the vice president of communications and public relations at Paytm, who climbed the ladder serving in prison for an alleged extortion case involving the company''s founder Vijay Shekhar Sharma.  Who is Yasmin Kapoor?  All we have heard till now is Yasmin Kapoor is a close aide of corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar.

She has been lodged in Tihar jail in Aviation scandal dating back to 2008-09. She is also facing charges of an alleged violation of foreign exchange rules by NGO Advantage India.  The aviation scandal pertains to former civil aviation minister Praful Patel decision to give air traffic rights for foreign private airlines at the cost of national carrier Air India. Corporate lobbyist Deepak Talwar, who was extradited from Dubai in January, had received Rs 272 crore in bribes while acting as a middleman and liaising with several government functionaries to illegally secure favourable air traffic rights for foreign private airlines.  Kapoor has been involved in laundering the ill-gotten money of Talwar in non government and private organizations. She owns Stone Travels Pvt Ltd. Her company received $ 235,120 from Gilt Asset Management Ltd, one of eight offshore companies of Talwar, during 2010-2011 and 2011- 2012. The investigative agencies has found that out of Rs 272 crore kickbacks, Rs 144 crore was received by Gilt Asset Management. 

Interestingly, Kapoor''s residence on APJ Abdul Kalam road was owned by Gulshan Promoters Pvt Ltd, one of whose promoters, Devendra Dogra had received $3.765 million from Gilt Asset Management, Enforcement Directorate has found during probe.  Further it was also found that Dogra and Neel Patnakar, the shareholders of Gulshan Promoters, transferred their shareholding in Gulshan Promoters to Sunrise Trust, in which Kapoor and her daughters Karina and Yamini Kapoor were the beneficial owners. Dogra, Kapoor and Talwar have been trustees of Sunrise Trust. Kapoor has been a director in Gulshan Promoters from 2001 to 2018.  She is also facing charges of an alleged violation of foreign exchange rules by NGO Advantage India.

The Delhi-based NGO Advantage India, its owner Talwar, Kapoor and four others, are accused for of misusing Rs 90.72 crore donations from two defence and aviation firms -- MBDA and Airbus SAS.  It is alleged that France-based Airbus SAS and UK-based missile manufacturer MBDA International gave about Rs 90.72 crore to the NGO for initiatives related to healthcare and education but the money was later found to have been used for purchasing properties.  The Advantage India flouting several provisions of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), including "false statements, false accounts, claimed bogus expenses, furnished concocted vouchers, purchased three luxury cars over Rs 84 lakh, payment made by NGO for foreign visits of Talwar, funds used for making payment related to business activities of the founder of Advantage India.  In 2015, Talwar transferred the Directorship of Advantage India to his wife, Deepa, but didn''t intimate the Ministry about the change in violation of Rule 17A of the FCRA.
