  8.  
  9. Early in 2018, news broke out about a group of fraudsters that took the Uttar Pradesh tourism industry by storm. It was gathered that this group of hoodlums perpetrated this act under the pretense of issuing fake tenders for the Kumbh Mela.
  10.  
  11. &nbsp;
  12.  
  13. The Kumbh Mela, the world's largest peaceful gathering of over a 100 million pilgrims, was used to defraud hundreds of people of their money
  14.  
  15. &nbsp;
  16.  
  17. The first thing they did was to infiltrate the tourism department by acting as officials. This made their claims look more genuine. Hence, defrauding these innocent individuals and businessmen of their money wasn't a hard feat.
  18.  
  19. &nbsp;
  20.  
  21. They started by advertising the issuance of fake tenders for the Kumbh Mela on social media, and requesting individuals, together with businessmen, and agencies to bid for the tenders.
  22.  
  23. &nbsp;
  24.  
  25. Soon after this, people started bidding for the tenders and bribing officials to enable them to get the projects. Not knowing that these officials were part of the fraud syndicate.
  26.

  28.  
  29. It wasn't until a studio owner in Mumbai was duped of millions of rupees for making a film and documentary of the upcoming Kumbh Mela that the case came to light.
  30.  
  31. &nbsp;
  32.  
  33. As soon as the studio owner realized that he had been scammed, he quickly reported the case to the police. Who swooped in and got some of the gang members arrested. Before these fraudsters, were arrested the other victims soon realized that they had also been defrauded. They started making complaints to the tourism department.
  34.  
  35. &nbsp;
  36.  
  37. This was when the tourism industry announced in newspapers and magazines, denying their involvement in the issuance of tenders for the Kumbh Mela. The officials from the industry in their announcements claimed that they would never advertise the issuance of tenders for the Kumbh Mela on social media platforms.
  38.  
  39. &nbsp;
  40.  
  41. Officials soon called in the police and investigations begun. This was when arrests were made, interrogations started, and important pieces of information about the mode of operations of these fraudsters were unearthed.
  42.  
  43. &nbsp;
  44.  
  45. The police soon got what they were looking for: names of people involved and places. It was during the interrogation that they got to know about Manoj Tiwari and his role in the crime perpetrated.
  46.  
  47. &nbsp;
  48.  
  49. Officials were shocked as to how someone in prison was able to accomplish a crime of that magnitude. It wasn't until Manoj had been interrogated, that they found out that he had been communicating with the other criminals through a phone.
  50.  
  51. &nbsp;
  52.  
  53. Proper interrogation of Manoj, led to the discovery of the brain behind the fake tender fraud(<a href="https://www.amarujala.com/lucknow/fraud-for-the-tendor-for-kumbh-mela">Umashankar Tiwari</a>).
  54.  
  55. &nbsp;
  56.  
  57. It was revealed that <a href="https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/lucknow/other-news/looking-for-helpers-from-the-political-corridor-behind-the-bars/articleshow/65465534.cms">Umashankar Tiwari</a> had planned every step of the fraud. From planting men in the tourism department disguised as officials to planning the entire scam, to the collection of the bribe from unsuspecting individuals and agencies, and even wiping out the advertisement for tenders from all the social media platforms.
  58.  
  59. &nbsp;
  60.  
  61. After this was discovered, the police soon began a manhunt for Umashankar Tiwari. That proved quite unsuccessful.

  67. THE RECENT KUMBH MELA FRAUD, POLITICALLY CONNECTED?
  68.  
  69. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="8500"]<img class="size-medium" src="https://i.imgur.com/5n5x7Bg.jpg" alt="amit mishra uttar pradesh" width="8500" height="8959" /> amit mishra lucknow[/caption]
  70.  
  71. Today in India, politics, and fraud are like 5 and 6, they usually go together. This is why speculations are being made about the recent Kumbh Mela fraud being politically connected.
  72.  
  73. &nbsp;
  74.  
  75. This hypothesis is stemming from the fact that the leader of the scam syndicate that pulled off the Kumbh Mela fraud, <a href="http://www.amarujala.com/lucknow/fraud-for-the-tendor-for-kumbh-mela">Umashankar Tiwari</a> is a well-known criminal and politician. He has a history of jumping from one ruling party to another, so he can be protected under the umbrella of the ruling party, and escape being convicted for his numerous crimes.
  76.  
  77. &nbsp;
  78.  
  79. The Kumbh Mela fraud case was what brought <a href="https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/lucknow/other-news/looking-for-helpers-from-the-political-corridor-behind-the-bars/articleshow/65465534.cms">Umashankar Tiwari</a> into the spotlight. It was the biggest fraud case in Uttar Pradesh, one in which hundreds of individuals and quite a handful of agencies, were defrauded of millions of Rupees.
  80.  
  81. &nbsp;
  82.  
  83. It happened that Umashankar and his cohorts had placed advertisements on social media platforms for individuals and agencies to bid for tenders for the Kumbh Mela.
  84.  
  85. &nbsp;
  86.  
  87. This advertisement, drew the attention of innocent individuals and companies whose aim was just to make money. They saw this as an opportunity to not just build their brand name, but also their customer base. As they would be providing basic luxuries, for the pilgrims that would be attending the religious gathering.
  88.  
  89. &nbsp;
  90.  
  91. This dream of theirs was soon destroyed as they were deceived into bribing officials in the tourism department. Not knowing that these officials were fraudsters put in place to scam them of their money.
  92.  
  93. &nbsp;
  94.  
  95. These fraudsters soon met their waterloo when their victims, raised alarms and made complaints in the tourism department. It wasn't until the police were called in, and arrests were made that there was an air of relief in the tourism industry of Uttar Pradesh.
  96.  
  97. &nbsp;
  98.  
  99. After the arrests of these unscrupulous individuals, they were put under interrogation and soon enough, they confessed to committing various crimes, including the one they had been arrested for.
  100.  
  101. &nbsp;
  102.  
  103. The police quickly put pressure on these individuals, and the names of other people involved in this particular fraud case were exposed. One of these names was Manoj Tiwari, a one time politician and criminal who was in jail. When asked how he had been communicating with them, they claimed it was through phone calls.
  104.  
  105. <center><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Pxd7vXKbTvc?controls=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>
  106.  
  107. These officers of the law quickly swooped in on Manoj, and he confessed to being a part of the syndicate. But said, he was just a muscle man, who received orders from Umashankar that he passed down to the others.
  108.  
  109. &nbsp;
  110.  
  111. The ability of Umashankar, to successfully infiltrate the tourism department of Uttar Pradesh and put in some of his gang members to act as officials of the department and middlemen that helped in collecting the bribe. It makes one wonder, how he had done it if he wasn't being backed by people in really high places.
  112.  
  113. &nbsp;
  114.  
  115. It's believed that Umashankar's gang had the blessings of current and former chief ministers of Uttar Pradesh. And they were working hand in hand, with the Tourism Department officials.

  124.  
  125. &nbsp;
  126.  
  127. Just recently, the biggest tourism fraud to rock Pradesh was reported. It was discovered that a group of men has been using the tourism department to scam people with fraud tenders for the Kumbh Mela.
  128.  
  129. &nbsp;
  130.  
  131. Bids for tenders were posted on different social media platforms, asking the general public to bid for projects. Since corruption has eaten deep into India's society, most individuals and companies did not find it hard to bribe their way to be awarded the various pseudo projects. Unknown to them, they had been defrauded.
  132.  
  133. &nbsp;
  134.  
  135. To show you how well placed these unscrupulous individuals that planned the fraud was, they had one of their members put in the tourism department to act as the MD of the department. The unsuspecting people who had paid for the tenders were thrilled to meet face to face with a "senior government official" in his office.
  136.  
  137. <center><iframe style="border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;" src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/1XfqffzQGhpmk5" width="595" height="485" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe></center>
  138.  
  139. This act of fraud perpetrated by these individuals did not go unnoticed as nothing is hidden under the sun for long. It wasn't until individuals started laying complaints that the government had to set up a panel of inquiry as to how such fraud could transpire right under their noses.
  140.  
  141. &nbsp;
  142.  
  143. Investigations commenced, and it was then established that this was a clear case of fraud. The tourism department began their investigations as to how their industry was infiltrated by a group of criminals.
  144.  
  145. &nbsp;
  146.  
  147. The matter was reported to the police and arrests were made. It was then ascertained that this fraud was planned by two individuals, Manoj Tiwari and <a href="https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/lucknow/other-news/looking-for-helpers-from-the-political-corridor-behind-the-bars/articleshow/65465534.cms">Umashankar Tiwari</a>.
  148.  
  149. &nbsp;
  150.  
  151. Manoj Tiwari was a one-time politician and hardened criminal, a former zonal coordinator for BPS. He used his political power to cover up his nefarious activities. As he made sure to jump from one political party to another to be kept safe under their umbrella, it wasn't too long before he met his Waterloo.
  152.  
  153. &nbsp;
  154.  
  155. Manoj was arrested and charged with 36 cases of rape, attempted murder, murder, extortion, kidnapping, and prostitution. It was in prison that he got acquainted with the brain behind the fraud, <a href="http://www.amarujala.com/lucknow/fraud-for-the-tendor-for-kumbh-mela">Umashankar Tiwari</a>.
  156.  
  157. &nbsp;
  158.  
  159. After making a few arrests the police got to know about Manoj's role in the fraud, they found out that he had been giving orders from jail through a cellphone that was given to him. When he was interrogated, the cellphone was found in his possession. He then confessed to being just the muscle of the group, he claimed that he took orders from Umashankar Tiwari.
  160.  
  161. <center><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/Pxd7vXKbTvc?controls=0" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></center>
  162.  
  163. The police tried to get in contact with Umashankar Tiwari, but all to no avail. As it felt like he had completely disappeared from the face of the earth. The only information that was gotten about Umashankar was that he was a resident of Dhanraganj, Allahabad (now called Prayagaj) and that he owned a white car, the vehicle was traced and the license plate of the car was found to be fake. Until now, Umashankar Tiwari is still on the loose

  169. TOURISM FRAUD IN PRADESH- UMASHANKAR TIWARI, WHO IS HE?
  170.

  172.  
  173. &nbsp;
  174.  
  175. After the fraud case that shook the tourism department in Uttar Pradesh was made public, most of the culprits arrested, while others absconded. There has been a serious search for the mastermind of the act- <a href="http://www.amarujala.com/lucknow/fraud-for-the-tendor-for-kumbh-mela">Umashankar Tiwari</a>.
  176.  
  177. &nbsp;
  178.  
  179. It happened that the police after several investigations had arrested a few culprits. It wasn't until officials thoroughly investigated them that the names of people involved in the case were realized.
  180.  
  181. &nbsp;
  182.  
  183. Officials got to know about Manoj Tiwari, a convict still serving his jail term, whom they believed was the mastermind of the fraud until he was brought up for questioning, and he confessed to being a part of the gang but not the kingpin. He claimed that he was just that guy that received orders from the main guy.
  184.  
  185. &nbsp;
  186.  
  187. During Manoj's questioning by the police, the name that caught their attention was <a href="https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/lucknow/other-news/looking-for-helpers-from-the-political-corridor-behind-the-bars/articleshow/65465534.cms">Umashankar Tiwari</a>, the brain behind the tourism fraud.
  188.  
  189. &nbsp;
  190.  
  191. Umashankar is known for exploiting innocent individuals, defrauding these people of their hard-earned money and other criminal activities. The Kumbh Mela fraud wasn't his first. As planning it and putting these plans into play was easy peasy for him, as it looked like his line of profession.
  192.  
  193. <center><iframe style="border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;" src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/1XfqffzQGhpmk5" width="595" height="485" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe></center>
  194.  
  195. It was also discovered during the questioning of Manoj Tiwari and other arrested culprits that Umashankar was so elusive to the point that close to 70% of his gang members had never seen him before, or spoken to him directly. They claimed that he only communicated with them through a cell phone.
  196.  
  197. &nbsp;
  198.  
  199. The police immediately started a manhunt for Umashankar and came up with absolutely nothing, at first. It wasn't too long before the police got a tip-off and recovered a Tata car from the rental house in Kanpur Shardanagar that was under a fake name and later discovered that the car also had a fake number plate too.

  209. [caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="10717"]<img class="size-medium" src="https://i.imgur.com/1S5HvKu.jpg" alt="amit mishra faridabad" width="10717" height="6401" /> amit mishra[/caption]
  210.  
  211. The issue of fraud and scams in India is not a new thing. India is ranked as one of the most corrupt countries in the world.
  212.  
  213. &nbsp;
  214.  
  215. Recently, a fraud syndicate in Pradesh and their activities were exposed by the authorities, after a case of issuance of fake tenders for the Kumbh Mela was discovered. But it wasn't until the fraud had been perpetuated, millions of Rupees lost, that this happened.
  216.  
  217. &nbsp;
  218.  
  219. It began with one Rajveer Singh, who alleged that he was an officer in the Tourism department and issued fake tenders for dark brown woolen blankets, towel supplies, white bedsheets, and also a contract to build a big tent the size of Allahabad.
  220.  
  221. &nbsp;
  222.  
  223. A few days later, Rajveer put out another tender for a film and documentary of the Kumbh Mela. It was at this point that people started coming to the tourism department, to bid for the tenders.
  224.  
  225. &nbsp;
  226.  
  227. They were met by one Amit Mishra, who claimed to be the MD of the department. He answered their questions and put their minds to rest. After money and fake tenders had exchanged hands.
  228.  
  229. &nbsp;
  230.  
  231. These people, though business wise was gullible to the tactics of these fraudsters. They fell hard for it, and paid for the consequences of bribery- they lost their money.
  232.  
  233. &nbsp;
  234.  
  235. After the case was brought to light, investigations started and three people were arrested; Anuj Tripathi and Rajendra Kumar, and Alok Mishra. It was during the interrogation of these hoodlums and fraudsters that their modus operandi was revealed and the brains behind the fraud too.
  236.  
  237. &nbsp;
  238.  
  239. It came as a shock to officials when it was uncovered that the person who gave orders was in jail, and they communicated through a phone. It wasn't until they investigated Manoj Tiwari that the cellphone was found on him. He confessed to being part of the syndicate but said he was just a muscle man, and received direct orders from <a href="https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/metro/lucknow/other-news/looking-for-helpers-from-the-political-corridor-behind-the-bars/articleshow/65465534.cms">Umashankar Tiwari.</a>
  240.  
  241. <center><iframe style="border: 1px solid #CCC; border-width: 1px; margin-bottom: 5px; max-width: 100%;" src="//www.slideshare.net/slideshow/embed_code/key/1XfqffzQGhpmk5" width="595" height="485" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe></center>
  242.  
  243. <a href="http://www.amarujala.com/lucknow/fraud-for-the-tendor-for-kumbh-mela">Umashankar Tiwari</a> has severally been referred to as a scammer, as he has been involved in many fraud and tender laundering cases. He couldn't have done all these alone as he had quite a few associates who were knee-deep in all his unethical activities with him.
  244.  
  245. &nbsp;
  246.  
  247. He was brought up into the public eye after he orchestrated the Kumbh Mela fraud. With the Kumbh Mela looming, Umashankar saw it as an opportunity to make money off people by defrauding them of millions of Rupees.
  248.  
  249. &nbsp;
  250.  
  251. When officials got wind of his involvement in the case, they put out a manhunt for him which proved fruitless, as it seemed that he had vanished.
