From Sarith’s statement:
The Red Crescent had proposed that the construction of the Life Mission flat be carried out directly by the government. Khalid Ali Shoukri, former head of the finance department at the UAE Consulate, and Sapna asked me to find suitable manufacturers. I was the one who informed Sandeep about this. I had told Sandeep that the project was worth one crore dirhams and that the consulate would receive 30 lakh dirhams as commission. Sandeep and I had demanded a 6% commission from the remaining 70 lakh dirhams. Sandeep talks about Unitac.
Santosh Eepan hands over US Dollars and Indian Rupees equivalent to AED 3 million to Khalid Ali Shoukri at Kawadiar. Unitac owner Santosh Eepan brings the money in the consulate’s official vehicle. Of this, Rs 1 crore is the commission for Shiva Shankar. Khalid Ali Shoukri told me the next day that he had received a commission of US $ 1.9 lakh.
Why pay a commission of Rs 1 crore to Shiva Shankar?
The Red Crescent wanted to build through the Kerala government. However, Shivshankar said there were a lot of procedures when the project was implemented by the government and construction would be delayed. Shivshankar then arranged a meeting between the Chief Minister and the Consul General at Cliff House in the presence of Swapna and agreed that the construction of the flat could be done directly by the Consulate itself. During a meeting between the Consul General and the Red Crescent representatives at the Consulate, Sapna and Khalid said that Unitac was an ‘A’ class builder and had undertaken and implemented a number of well-known projects. The Consul General and Khalid paid a commission of Rs.
When and how was this commission paid to Shivashankar?
Sir Shivashankar had told Swapna that the money should be kept in a locker and taken away when needed. Accordingly, Khalid’s and I transferred the money from the flat to the locker. When one locker was not full, the currency notes were kept in the second locker.

Former Consul General Jamal Hussain Al-Zabi gave me Rs 1 crore from the balance. This is what is kept in the lockers of SBI and Federal Bank. ‘
But in a statement issued on November 27, Sapna changed this.
‘As the commission amount in the Life Mission project, Ms. The money was handed over to me by Khalid Ali Shoukri to be handed over to Shiva Shankar. I do not know how many.

Following this, the Consul General was able to determine the contractors. For a week, the commission was kept in Khalid’s low-rise apartment. As he was leaving India, Khalid demanded that the money be transferred from there. Sarith and I took the money from Khalid’s house at the request of Shiva Shankar. When one locker was not enough to fill the currency, it was put in 2 lockers. Shiva Shankar was informed about this. His reply was that he would inform when the money was needed. He said he could help build my house. ‘

From the words of Santosh Eepan:
Unitac came to the Life Mission project from a phone call I received from my partner Vinod that there were plans to build 100 flats in Thrissur. This was in June 2019. Two company officials met Swapna, Sarith and Sandeep in Thiruvananthapuram. Their demand was for a commission advance. Saying that it was not possible, we abandoned the project. Two weeks later, the proposal reached us again. We were asked to pay in advance and to negotiate directly with the consulate officials.
Accordingly, the Consulate sent the plan and details of the flat in Vadakkancherry prepared earlier by Habitat. He then went to the Consulate in Thiruvananthapuram and held discussions with Khalid Ali Shoukri and Sapna.

The consulate plans to build 100 flats and a 12-bed hospital for children and mothers at a cost of 10 lakh UAE dirhams (Rs 18.75 crore). Khalid and Swapna spoke about the future plans of the consulate in Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad. In mid-July 2019, Khalid and Sapna met again at the hotel. They demanded a commission of 30 lakh dirhams (Rs 5.6 crore). The commission has demanded Dh20 lakh for the construction of a flat and Dh10 lakh for the construction of a hospital. After they agreed to pay 40% of the cost of building the flat in advance, the Commission agreed with us. They demanded that the construction be completed within 9 months and that the three-dimensional drawings of the design be completed within 2-3 days. They demanded that the commission be paid in US dollars. It was also agreed that Sarith, Yadu and Sandeep would be given 6% commission.
On his way back to Ernakulam, he said that he had called the dream WhatsApp and asked the Consul General to increase the number of flats. She said the commission could be reduced to 25 lakh dirhams. In the ensuing discussion, it was finalized that AED 20 lakh would be paid as commission, amounting to Dh10 lakh from the flat project and Dh10 lakh from the hospital. Separate agreements were signed to build the flats as a unit and Hospital Zine Ventures.
The Consulate was immediately alerted to certain provisions of the agreement. The issues raised were the area of the project, the transaction, the GST and the bank guarantee. Consulate officials promised to fix everything. The mobilization advance payment was received from the Consulate on August one or two. As per the agreement reached with the Consulate officials, Rs. 3.8 crore was withdrawn from our 2 bank accounts in 2 installments for commission. 2.2 crore on August 1 and Rs. 1.6 crore on August 2. At Rs 3.8 crore, a portion was converted into dollars. The rest was Indian Rupees. The money was handed over to Khalid on the night of August 2.

As the dream suggests, he was waiting in the car near Cafe Coffeed in Kawadiar with the money. He said a vehicle would get there. After a while, the consulate vehicle with the blue number plate came and stopped in front of my car. I brought the bag with the money in the car. The driver’s seat was empty. The car drove to the same place. 2 hours later, the dreamer came to the same place with an empty bag. After this, we returned to Ernakulam.
Since August 4, the bank has transferred Rs 60 lakh in three installments to Sandeep-owned ISO Monk Trading as a commission to Sandeep and Sarith. One day, Swapna later said that Khalid had smuggled the money to Cairo and that Sapna and Sarit had traveled with Khalid that day. Khalid was commissioned on the basis that Jamal Hussain al-Zabi and Khalid Ali Shoukri had said they would award more contracts.
According to Swapna, the total commission is 30 lakh dirhams.
I don’t know about that. That was the initial impression. But when the number of flats was reduced from 100 to 140, consulate officials reduced the commission. There are accurate bank statements and documents regarding the commission paid.
M. Why did you see Lord Shiva?
