The Sunday Express contacted Cong MLA Arvind Khanna:

• Has ED questioned you, your brother Aditya or your father, Vipin Khanna, on transactions other than those directly connected with the Volcker probe?

They have only asked us about our business, companies we own in India and, of course, about Indrus. Indrus was set up by Aditya and Andaleeb in London in 1999 and the oil-for-food contract was its only major deal.

• Have you been questioned about offshore companies allegedly linked to your family such as South Asian Properties, New Haven and Leaderwick?

Except for Leaderwick, I am not aware of the others. Leaderwick is a London trading company dealing with trade in foodstuffs, commodities.

• Does your family deal with arms sales?

I have a company in New Delhi named TSL which deals with the Ministry of Defence in equipment, software, avionics. We did Rs 80-crore sales last year. We are not arms agents.

• Do these companies also supply arms and equipment to Pakistan?

I would not be surprised if they do. So many European firms supply to both India and Pakistan. I cannot say which but it is possible they do.

• There are allegations of large sums of money made in your name by members of your family settled abroad in violation of Indian laws.

My father (Vipin Khanna) and my brother are NRIs but they hold Indian passports. I was also an NRI for 10 years and settled in New Delhi 13 years ago. The only large receipts I have got are gifts from my father over eight years adding up to Rs 8 crore.
