New Delhi: Controversial arms dealer Abhishek Verma on Thursday rejected allegations of purported defence leaks by BJP MP Varun Gandhi to him saying the emails and photographs being circulated are “fabricated” and questioned the motive of the releases made on Thursday.
“At the outset, I deny all the allegations contained in the aforesaid 7-page letter. I also deny all the allegations levelled by Yogendra Yadav and Prashant Bhushan on Thursday at their press conference.
“Allen is a known forger and he had in the past also morphed some photos of another individual and I had filed a case of criminal defamation against Allen in Patiala House Court on February 6, 2012. The case trial is on and the matter is subjudice,” Verma said in a statement issued tonight.
He said the so called “emails and photos are fabricated as I had not issued nor photographed Gandhi nor referred to him anywhere.
He questioned as to why Allen did not disclose these contents, made public today, when a joint team of CBI and Enforcement Directorate visited the latter in New York in 2012
