Sandeep told that he needs 120,000USD as sponsorship money for his team, Kandurata Warriors. He also said that he will not show the money on papers and demanded to pay entire money in cash in India.
Sandeep also told us that he need that money in US dollars in India. He guided us to pay 120,000USD in cash to his man in mumbai and, from there he will simply reroute that money to Singapore.
This is simply a Hawala. He also told us that we can take sponsorship of all the Six Franchisees, playing in SLPL. The amount he quoted per franchisee is 100,000USD. So in all he is asking us to invest 740,000USD in SLPL.
