First Global chief faces FERA
charges
New
Delhi: Owner and director of First Global Shankar Sharma was picked up by
sleuths of Enforcement Directorate for questioning into the alleged FERA
violations. Enforcement Directorate had carried out raids at his Mumbai-based
office and residence last month and seized all records including his computers.
Sharma and his wife Deviani are also
facing allegations of tax default by the Income Tax department. First Global
came into light after Tehelka's Armsgate expose in March as the company was
holding 14.5 per cent shares in the website.
