	Hinduja brothers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Hinduja brothers — Srichand (born 28 November 1935), Gopichand (born 29 February 1940) and Prakash — are an Indian business family.
		The Hinduja brothers are half-Hindu and half-Jew, hence their name.
		The other and rarely known side of the Brothers is their various acts on munificent and silent charity around the world.

	The Hindu : Hinduja brothers appear before CBI
		For the time being, the CBI appears to have rounded off the interrogation of the three Hinduja brothers who were chargesheeted in the Bofors payoffs case in October last.
		Well-placed sources in the CBI said that the three brothers were asked to clarify certain `aspects' of the payment track that had led the agency to their Swiss bank accounts, Vienna and again to certain Swiss banks.
		The Hindujas had come down from their earlier stand of stating that they had nothing to do with the Bofors gun deal to maintaining that the funds received by them were not connected with the Howitzer deal with the Indian Government.

		Srichand and Gopichand Hinduja, who are now British citizens, and their brother Prakash, a Swiss citizen, were charged with accepting £5.3 million in illegal commissions from Bofors to use their influence with the government and speed the sale of the Howitzers.
		In their appeal, the Hinduja brothers argued the trial should not proceed until there is a full hearing on their original contention that a technicality requires the dropping of all charges.
		The story behind the Hinduja Group may not be a classic rags to riches tale, their father was already a wealthy textile trader, but today they have built up a relatively small business into a multi-billion pound empire with interests in banking, oil, cable TV and internet services.

	Nation - Bofors! Hinduja brothers directed to furnish personal bonds of Rs 200,000 each (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Hinduja brothers - GP, SP and PP - were today directed by a special CBI court, to furnish a personal bond of Rs 200,000 each in the Rs 64 crore Bofors pay-off case, alongwith a surety of the equal amount.
		Hindujas told the court that they had their business spread across the world, with India alone accounting for investments of about Rs 10,000 crore, and that if they were forced to apply for bail, it would affect their reputation.
		Hindujas' lawyers Amit Desai, Rajender Singh and Arvind Nigam pleaded before the court that if their clients were forced to apply for bail and then released on bail they would have to mention this in their applications for visas to visit various countries for their business and this would adversely affect their interests.

		The Hinduja's solicitors, Schilling and Lom and Partners, said in a press statement that the Asian Age had published numerous "false and defamatory statements" about the Hinduja brothers over a protracted period of time.
		The funds were invested by the Hinduja Group for its group companies or transferred to other accounts of the Hinduja Group."

		Downing Street said the brothers were part of a delegation sent by the Indian government to discuss bilateral relations and the meeting had nothing to do with passport applications.

	On the Hinduja trail
		The indictment of the brothers comes in the shape of a subsidiary charge-sheet, which is to be read in conjunction with the charge-sheet filed in October 1999.
		The latest Hinduja ploy is of a piece with earlier efforts to deflect the course of the investigation, which have earned them a specific indictment in the recent charge-sheet.
		By this token, the Hinduja brothers are guilty not merely of receiving payoffs in violation of an explicit contractual undertaking given by Bofors, but also of collusion in an effort to cover up the truth, in active collaboration with various public serv ants.

		THE Bofors case, as investigated by the CBI, is about criminal conspiracy, bribery, criminal misconduct by public servants, cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery for the purpose of cheating and using as genuine a forged document in respect of the B ofors-India howitzer contract of March 24, 1986.
		The three Hinduja brothers, two of whom have become U.K. nationals and the third has reportedly acquired Swiss nationality, have defied the CBI's summons and have, in effect, kept away from the law.
