Reportedly, agents of Pakistani artistes like
Fawad Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, ShafaqShafqatt Ali,
Mawra Hocane and Imran Abbas Naqvi are involved in black money transactions in India.
The sting operation that was conducted by the Hindi news channel 'News 18' after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the demonetization of Rs 500-1000 notes to restrain black money in India.
As per reports, the statement issued by the channel states that the undercover reporters have caught on camera "the agents of the Pakistani artistes" demanding majority of their fee in black.
This fee was for the 'appearance in wedding ceremonies'. Among all of them, a few demanded part of the fee in cash while the rest asked it to be transferred to their bank accounts in Australia or Dubai.
Details about
Fawad Khan's manager have also been revealed. He demanded Rs 50 lakh for a two-hour appearance. He further stated that the payment should be made in black and white. The black money was to be 25 percent of the deal amount and the rest was to be transferred to Fawad's UAE-based bank account.
Similarly,
Mawra Hocane's Pak-based manager demanded Rs 50 lakh for a two-hour appearance and asked for Rs 25 lakh in cash to be paid to her contact in Mumbai. The rest was to be transferred to her Australian bank account, the channel statement said.
News18 India has claimed that the Pakistani artistes have violated the statutory laws of India as all of them come here on a work permit obtained through the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) for professional engagement.
However, the details of the sting operation could not be independently verified.
