Ex-Zilingo CEO Ankiti Bose Hiked Her Salary 10X Without Approval, Made "Unexplained Payments": Report

Ankiti Bose, co-founder of Singapore fashion start-up Zilingo who was sacked as CEO in May last year following complaints of serious financial irregularities, increased her salary 10 times without board approval and made $10 million worth of "unexplained payments" to various vendors, a new report has said. 

The report by Inc42 comes a day after Ms Bose filed a $100 million defamation suit against prominent angel investor and co-founder of Seedfund Mahesh Murthy for his article in the March 1 issue of Outlook Business magazine, in which he referred to founders who took money illegally out of their start-ups. In his article, Mr Murthy mentioned "one lady" who "ran a popular fashion portal and took Sequoia's money". 

Without taking Ms Bose's name, Mr Murthy wrote, "She got her firm to pay her lawyer some Rs 70 crore as fees and-it is rumoured-got a lot of that amount directly back to herself as her cut". 

On Saturday, in response to the defamation case, Mr Murthy tweeted, "Guilty conscience? Playing the victim? A PR stunt to stay in the news? A new way to raise funding? If you have a guess, do share it :)" 

I'm in the news. Such fun! Apparently a lady is suing me for $100 million for an old piece which doesn't refer to her but she insists it does. It's this attached excerpt from an opinion piece commissioned by @OutlookBusiness. Given that there are dozens of lady founders in dozens… pic.twitter.com/Rs5vT5qS92

Now, in its report, Inc42 has unearthed more details about the company's messy financial reporting as well as alarming information about the $10 million in unexplained payments and more. 

It found that Ms Bose had submitted "conflicting revenue figures" to shareholders and increased her salary 10 times without board approval. Of this, $9 million was paid to Sandeep Kapoor's law firm Algo Legal and related entities as legal fees and allegedly for "IT system development", but none of these services were actually rendered, the outlet found. Separately, $944,000 was also paid to Ebix cash, which Ms Bose approved "even without an existing contract," as per the report.

The outlet stated that "despite those unexplained payments to vendors, Zilingo's books had plenty of other anomalies and some creative accounting measures approved/undertaken by Ms Bose to boost the revenue reported in FY21 and FY22". It also added that some of these measures were taken mere days before her suspension last year.

In response to the article, Ms Bose's representative has said that there was no 10X growth in CEO's salary. "In fact, Ms. Bose was on a 30% pay cut as earlier clarified and proper documentation exists with the company for this," the spokesperson added.

Mayawati's Party "Sympathetic" Towards Atiq Ahmad's Wife, Says Leader

Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Uma Shankar Singh on Sunday said Shaista Parveen, the wife of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad, is still in the party and has not been expelled from it.

Speaking to reporters here, Singh -- the lone BSP MLA in the 403-member UP Legislative Assembly -- said, "Shaista Parveen, wife of Atiq Ahmad, is still in the party. She has not been expelled from the party. She is not occupying any post in the party. If she is convicted, she will be expelled from the party. She is yet to be convicted. The party is sympathetic towards her."

To a question that the BSP has been termed as BJP's “B-Team” by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, he said, "Akhilesh Yadav does not have any issue except defaming the BSP.” On April 10, BSP chief Mayawati had said her party will not field gangster Ahmad's wife Parveen or any other member of his family in the mayoral election in Prayagraj.

Parveen had joined the BSP in the presence of its senior leaders on January 5, and was reportedly being considered as the party's mayoral candidate for Prayagraj.

The urban local body elections will be held in the state on May 4 and 11.

“As far as Shaista Parveen is concerned, I would like to make it clear that as per the facts emerging from media reports regarding the Umesh Pal murder case, as soon as the name of Atiq's wife emerged and after she has gone underground, the situation has changed," Mayawati had told reporters.

“In this scenario, our party will now not give the mayoral ticket to Atiq's wife, nor to any member of his family," she had said.

The BSP chief had also said, "As far as the question of keeping Atiq's wife in the party is concerned, a decision will be taken soon from the facts that emerge after she lands in the police net." On March 13, BSP leader Uma Shankar Singh, who is also the Leader of the party in the Uttar Pradesh Legislative Assembly, had come out in support of Parveen, saying the police's cash reward for information on her is an attempt “to divert attention” from its failure in solving the Umesh Pal murder case.

The Rasra MLA had said, "Shaista Parveen has no relation, even remotely, with the murder case. Even the police have not been able to prove it. She is a social person." “Shaista Parveen is all set to become the mayor of Prayagraj and the BJP is going to lose the seat. This is the (reason) behind the BJP's fury," Singh had said, and stressed that BSP chief Mayawati has already announced that action will be taken against Parveen if the allegations against her are proven.

"We still stand by that. If the allegation is proven, Shaista Parveen will be expelled from the party. The BSP never compromises on matters of crime," Singh had said.

Umesh Pal and his two police security guards were shot dead on February 24 outside his home in Prayagraj's Dhoomanganj area.

Based on a complaint lodged by Umesh Pal's wife Jaya Pal, a case was registered on February 25 against Atiq Ahmad, his brother Ashraf, wife Parveen, two sons, aides Guddu Muslim and Ghulam, and nine others.

On March 28, an MP/MLA court held Atiq Ahmad and two others guilty in the 2006 Umesh Pal kidnapping case and sentenced them to life imprisonment. That was Ahmad's first conviction even though more than 100 cases had been registered against him.

The 60-year-old former Samajwadi Party MP was brought from Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat by road for hearing in the case in Prayagraj.

On April 15, Atiq Ahmad (60) and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction on Saturday night while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college here for a checkup.

J&K Attack: Terrorists Used Steel Core Bullets To Pierce Armoured Shield

The terrorists who ambushed an Army truck in Jammu and Kashmir's Poonch used steel core bullets, capable of piercing an armoured shield, and decamped with the soldiers' weapons, officials said on Sunday, amid intensified efforts to trace and neutralise the perpetrators.

They said a sniper is believed to have targeted the truck from the front before the other terrorists sprayed bullets and lobbed grenades on it.

Five soldiers were killed and one injured after the terrorists attacked the lone Army truck, which was carrying eatables for iftar to a nearby village, in the dense forest area of Bhata Dhurian late on Thursday afternoon and the vehicle caught fire.

The soldiers were from a Rashtriya Rifles unit deployed for counter-terror operations.

Experts from various agencies, including the National Security Guard (NSG) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA), have visited the site of the attack over the past two days and have managed to get a clear picture of the deadly ambush which was laid by the terrorists, the officials said.

They said a sniper is believed to have targeted the vehicle from the front before his associates showered bullets and lobbed grenades on the vehicle from opposite sides, apparently giving the troops no time to retaliate.

The terrorists used steel core bullets that can penetrate an armoured shield, they said.

Before fleeing, the terrorists stole the soldiers' arms and ammunition, they added.

Though the area where the attack took place is considered terrorism-free for long, the Bhata Dhurian forest area remains a notorious infiltration route for terrorists attempting to sneak into India by crossing the Line of Control (LoC) due to its topography, dense forest cover, and natural caves.

In October 2021, nine soldiers were killed in two major gunfights with terrorists within four days in the forest area during a search operation that continued for over three weeks.

Thursday's ambush was also a grim reminder of a terrorist attack on the official vehicle of a judicial magistrate over two decades ago. District and Sessions Judge V K Phool, a civilian and two police personnel were killed in the attack which took place on December 5, 2001, in the Dehra Ki Gali forests near the Bhata Dhurian forests.

The officials said over 12 people have been detained for questioning in connection with the Poonch attack but no arrests have been made so far.

Security forces are using drones and sniffer dogs to conduct a recce of the dense forest but success has eluded them so far, they said.

It is believed that the terrorists have managed to create safe hideouts in the dense forest to escape the security dragnet or may have crossed over to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, they added.

According to the officials, initial reports suggest the involvement of around five terrorists, including some foreign mercenaries, in the attack.

After the ambush, the terrorists possibly used grenades as well as sticky bombs that caused the vehicle to erupt into flames.

The officials said those who executed the attack are believed to have been in Rajouri and Poonch for more than a year and had adequate knowledge of the terrain, which is quite tough.

The area is a hotbed of Jammu and Kashmir Gaznavi Force (JKGF) as its 'commander' Rafiq Ahmed alias Rafiq Nayi is a resident of the area, they added.

At present, three to four terrorist groups are active in the region of Rajouri and Poonch, sources said.

Banned terror group People's Anti-Fascist Front (PAFF), a proxy wing of Jaish-e-Mohammed, has claimed responsibility for the attack. There are reports suggesting that it was the handiwork of banned Lashker-e-Taiba group also.
