Drivers, hawkers & vendors made directors in BoB scam
Rasool, 40, sells vegetables on his cart in north Delhi. Last year, he became the director of a company -without even knowing it -for a remuneration of Rs 10,000 per month.
Like Rasool (name changed), 58 other people, mostly living in slums and working as rickshaw-pullers, street vendors, drivers, household workers, etc, became pseudo-entrepreneurs after they were approached by black money hoarders in what has come to be known as the Bank of Baroda money laundering scandal.
These `directors' of 59 fake companies were the most crucial cog in the Rs 6,172 crore scam.
