New Delhi: A CNN-IBN Special Investigation has exposed that Moni Kumar Subba, the Congress MP from Tezpur, is not an Indian and has lied about his nationality for 16 years. But lying and cheating are just some of the crimes Subba is accused of.

In Tezpur, a young girl accused him of raping her. “My aunt left me with Subba in a room. He locked the door and asked me to remove my clothes. He said he had paid my aunt,” the girl told CNN-IBN.

During his decades long career as a businessman and politician, Subba's has been accused of tax evasion and lying about the true value of his assets.

Subba, who owns the Nagaland State Lottery, claimed that he is worth Rs 20 crore when he filed his Lok Sabha nomination papers in 2004. But if one adds up the scams he is accused of, he is worth Rs 25,000 crore. These are some of the scams he is accused of:

• Subba's company MS Associates, organisers of the Nagaland State Lottery, was indicted in 1997 for embezzling Rs 5,000 crore.
• Subba was in 1998 accused of embezzling Rs 5,000 crore from Meghalaya Lottery. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probed the case but made no recoveries.
• Subba's company MS Associates was in 1997 accused of involvement in the Rs-3500 crore UP Trade Tax Scam.

“When we do discuss the cases we feel that Subba can manage everybody with money,” said R P Sarma, an advocate in the Guwahati High Court.

Subba proudly claims to be the Congress’ moneybag in the Northeast. In an interview to a Nepali magazine once, Subba boasted about his what he has done to fund the party. "I keep nearly Rs 2,000-3,000 crore as political funds for various parties, to use during elections," he said in the interview.

CNN-IBN’s investigation had earlier reported that there are coincidences between Subba and Moni Raj Limbo, an escaped murder convict in Nepal.

But the authorities and the CBI say they don’t have conclusive evidence against Subba and are still working on the cases. Till then, a foreigner will continue as an Honourable MP in India.
