New Delhi, Dec 02: A Delhi Court will pronounce on December 22, judgement in the USD one lakh Lakhubhai Pathak cheating case in which former prime minister P V Narasimha Rao is an accused. The verdict would be pronounced exactly two decades after the alleged offence.
Special judge Dinesh Dayal today reserved the verdict after the completion of final arguments in the case in a courtroom set up at the high-security Vigyan Bhavan annexe.
According to CBI, on December 22, 1983, Rao along with controversial godman Chandraswamy and his close aide K N Aggarwal alias Mamaji, conspired at Hotel Hollorum House in New York to cheat the late UK-based pickle tycoon on the pretext of procuring him the supply of newsprint and paper pulp contract in India.
