Indore, Sep 26 IANS Even as 12 top serving bureaucrats and eight former Ministers of Madhya Pradesh seem to be in a big trouble in the honey trap scandal, the kingpin of scandal Shweta Jain has confessed to the SIT that she coerced at least two dozen college going girls, from lower middle class families, who were used to seduce the high and mighty of MP government.
Shweta also admitted that the main objective of the honey trap was to procure lucrative government contracts, running into several hundred crores, from the targeted VIPs. Most of the contracts were awarded to reputed companies by Shweta Jain and her aide Aarti Dayal on commission basis. Monica disclosed to SIT that on pretext of seeking admission in a prestigious college she came in contact with Shweta, who claimed that she was close to top brass of the MP government.
Shweta also provided an Audi car to Monica to shuttle between Indore and Bhopal. A senior SIT official said that Monica initially refused to oblige Shweta and returned to her parents home in Narsinghgarh.
Later, Hiralal, whose financial condition was not good, allowed her 18 year old daughter to leave for Bhopal with Aarti. Aarti told Monica that to reach at the top, one has to do all these things. SIT investigation reveals that in the name of the NGO and offering jobs to daughters of lower middle class families, Aarti and Shweta coaxed several college going girls and after a brainwash, introduced them into the honey trap racket.
In her statement Monica alleged that on August 30, this year, Aarti and an aide Rupa, brought her to Indore in a luxury car wherein they stayed in the posh Infinity hotel. The next evening a government engineer Harbhajan Singh, 60, was introduced to her. Later Monica had to spend the entire night with Harbhajan who had sex with her.
