The above was the first meeting with Mehta. Meanwhile,
very interestingly, Gen Choudary rang Mathew Samuel of
West End asking for some help in lobbying with a CVC official
who was examining a corruption case against him. In this
last meeting with Choudary, he relents more or less. West
End tells him he will get Rupees five or six lakh initially.

Maj.Gen.Choudary: One thing you should be clear
in your mind. As I explained to you last time, this is not
a one-man show.
TEHELKA: Yes sir. That I know very well sir…
Maj.Gen.Choudary: So what you must do is, start contacting
somebody from the ministry. You might be having contacts there
in his office. From then you start pushing things to us. You
see results in even if you are not there. Works are very….
See if you have already contacted the minister There is no
need .
TEHELKA: No need right? That… that is what I am asking,
that is what I am asking. Already I have met Jaya Jaitly and
Rajiv Goba.
Maj.Gen.Choudary: See if you are already there,
Then… then there is no need for you to go elsewhere.
TEHELKA: There is no need. Right? This I want to… I
want to know from you, sir. Maj.Gen.Choudary:: They
are the main people.
Maj.Gen.Choudary: No problem…I will approach you and
say this is the response.

Surendra Sulekha makes a demand of Rs 10 lakh to get the
evaluation
letter issued from Gen Choudary little knowing about our
own lobbying
efforts with the General. General Murgai explains to West
End about
Surendra Singh's new demand. |
Maj.Gen.Choudary: But, Now let us see like this. On
Saturday, Surinder Singh was there.
TEHELKA: Hmm.
Maj.Gen.Choudary: … and he was trying to contact me,
I was not available…Tehelka: I don't have his number.
Maj.Gen.Choudary: No, no. He was trying to contact
me. I was not available. And then around 5 o'clock when I
came home, I came to know that he was there in Delhi. Then
I spoke to him. He said he was leaving this same evening.
And he made it very clear. He said, "Unless the payment is
made in advance, I will not do the job." And secondly, he
said that he has already paid 3 more lakhs to Jaya Jaitly
Okay? That's what he told me.
TEHELKA: He is lying
MAJ.GEN.MURGAI: No, no, see what…
TEHELKA: This entire picture you know that he created
a hoax.
MAJ.GEN.MURGAI: Just a minute. He said and he said,
now I will charge 10 lakhs.
TEHELKA: Hmm.
MAJ.GEN.MURGAI: In total and get the letter reissued
in 24 hours. Okay? Then I told him that , "Look, you have
a word with Samuel ." That is the reason I ring you up on
mobile. You picked up and switched off. Okay? Then I told
him. "Surinder," I said, "He has switched off the mobile.
I'm not able to contact him." So he said, "Okay, then I am
leaving for Kanpur. You can talk to him. If he pays 10 lakhs…."
He says three he has paid from his own side for they were
in need of funds. He wants to recover. Okay? And the payment
will be in cash. That is exactly what he told me. The reason
is…that is the reason I said, "He speaks to me, I speak to
you. It is better that we all sit together. Then we have a
direct talk." That is the reason I tried to contact you.
TEHELKA: He told me that what was the equation on that
day.
MAJ.GEN.MURGAI (interrupts): Accha, now
another…
T (continues): What was the equation?
MAJ GEN MURGAI: Another thing he told me. He said,
even the previous payment, he has not made for you.
MAJ GEN MURGAI: The matter is finished. Now the question
arises, leaving aside him, who is the person who can give
the evaluation letter. Let's understand it. Amongst ourselves,
who do you think who can issue?
