Rasheed says his next contacts were ex-Telugu Desam MP Suguna Kumari and TDP

former state minister Nirmala Kistappa. He says he paid Suguna Kumari an advance of Rs 8 lakh for sending eight Gujaratis to the US. She took them to the US Consulate but their visa applications were rejected. He alleges that she never returned the money.

Rasheed said that while Kistappa’s passports were being used, a task force raided his office in an illegal emigration case and he was sent to jail. That case is still on trail, and he is out on bail.

After this, he says he moved operations to New Delhi. Here again, he says he met Narendra, who was a Central minister at the time and gave him the passports of Madhusudan Reddy and Ravindra Naik and asked him to arrange for some clients. Naik, he says, gave him some blank letterheads, which he handed to one “Bilal and his friend” , who used them to arrange visas to Taiwan and Japan.

Then, he says in the confession, TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao’s personal assistant K Rama Murty introduced him to “one Sunder Lal Yadav who is BSP leader (sic). He in turn introduced me to Balchand Yadav, MP Sultanpur at 155, North Avenue, New Delhi.” He further says, “I have paid an amount of Rs 3 lakh advance to Balchand Yadav for arranging visas for one lady and two children. After a week, he called me and demanded his original passport back and refused to work with me as he was involved in some problem.”
