    This scam did not happen in a overnight, definitly the hands of then Finance minister’s would be there. He was among the directors up to the year 2004. This is a live example, how the corporate houses are looting our country with the help of corrupt politicians.

    A company is run by Board of Directors and CEO or MD should be arrested if a company evades Duty or tax. Dealing officers should only be asked to provide information as they act only for & on behalf on company. A Company is a separate legal entity and this simple fact is ignored by Corrupt govt. Departments to save themselves.

    This Tax Evasion alleged can not take place overnight. The excise &custom people does periodic checks? I am sure that it is a knee jerk action by Excise people rather than on concrete proofs.More over Sterlite has its internal checks & balances to avoid such flaw.
