About The Scam
The scam, which took place between 2007 and 2009, led to the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) filing cases against City Group companies – City Limousines, City Realcom, and City Hospitalities – for allegedly duping 70,000 investors with false promises of high returns and Limousines. Businessman Nitin Bohra was made an accused in the case for his link with M/s Khushi Industries Ltd.
The prosecution had alleged that the transfer of funds of Rs 7.25 crore, Rs 3.30 crore and Rs 1.45 crore was made by Khushi Industries to various accounts. Bohra had claimed that he was neither a director of the firm nor was connected to it at the time when the transaction took place. He claimed that he was inducted as a director of Khushi Industries on December 15, 2008 and was there till April 26, 2009.
The transaction took place between June 15 and August 18, 2009, that is post his resignation, he claimed. The plea was opposed by prosecutor Arvind Aghav on the ground that though the applicant has asserted that he resigned as a director of Khushi Industries, the same does not absolve him of liability for the fraudulent transactions.
The court relied on Bohra's statement wherein he claimed that he had given Rs 7.25 crore entry through his bank account to M/s City Limouzines, Rs 3.30 crore entry to M/s City Realcom and Rs 1.45 crore entry to M/s Andes Realty Consultants Pvt Ltd after receiving Rs 12 crore on commission basis at the rate of 5 paisa per Rs 100. The court said that the cash received by the accused for giving entries is proceeds of crime.

| Raj Angad Bawa |
Raj Angad Bawa is one of the most exciting young talents in Indian cricket. A standout performer in the 2022 U19 World Cup, Bawa has quickly risen through the ranks, earning a spot in the Mumbai Indians (MI) squad for IPL 2025. With his explosive all-round abilities and a strong sporting lineage (his grandfather, Tarlochan Singh Bawa, was an Olympic gold medalist in hockey), Bawa is being hailed as a future superstar.
This article covers:
Bawa grew up in a sports-loving family and was trained at Chandigarh's St. Stephen's Academy. His aggressive batting and wicket-taking ability quickly made him a standout player in age-group cricket.
Bawa announced himself on the global stage during the 2022 ICC U19 World Cup, where he played a pivotal role in India's title win.
His all-round brilliance drew comparisons with Hardik Pandya and Yuvraj Singh.
After the U19 WC, Bawa was picked by Punjab Kings (PBKS) in IPL 2022 but didn't get many opportunities.
| Format | Matches | Runs | Wickets | Best |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| List A | 18 | 412 | 24 | 112 & 4/35 |
| T20s | 22 | 298 | 16 | 68* & 3/22 |
| First-Class | 10 | 387 | 19 | 89 & 5/40 |
His consistent performances earned him a Mumbai Indians (MI) contract for IPL 2025, where he is expected to replace Rohit Sharma in the middle order.
With Hardik Pandya leading MI, Bawa could be the perfect all-rounder replacement.
Experts believe he could be MI's long-term finisher, similar to how Pandya rose under Rohit's captaincy.
Weakness: Needs more consistency in longer formats.
If Bawa performs well in IPL 2025, he could be in contention for:
His all-round skills make him a strong candidate for India's future white-ball teams.
✅ Yes, his grandfather Tarlochan Singh Bawa won gold in 1948 London Olympics (Hockey).
Both are aggressive all-rounders who bowl medium pace and bat explosively in the middle order.
Mumbai Indians (MI) signed him as a potential replacement for Rohit Sharma.
162* (U19 World Cup vs Uganda, 2022) - Highest by an Indian in U19 WC history.
If he performs well in IPL 2025, he could debut for India in 2026.
Raj Angad Bawa has all the ingredients to become India's next superstar all-rounder. With MI backing him in IPL 2025, this could be his breakthrough season. If he maintains his form, we might soon see him in Team India's jersey.
Will Raj Bawa be the next Hardik Pandya? Only time will tell, but the future looks bright! 🌟
