| Aspect | Details | | :--- | :--- | | | Abdul Karim Telgi , born in 1961 in Khanapur, Karnataka. He was a fruit and vegetable seller who later turned to forgery. | | The Scam | A vast counterfeit stamp paper racket. Stamp papers were high in demand but short in supply, creating the perfect opportunity for Telgi to flood the market with fakes. | | Estimated Value | Officially estimated at over ₹30,000 crore (US$3.9 billion), making it six times bigger than the 1992 Harshad Mehta stock market scam. The illicit operation spanned 18 states and 72 cities. | | The Network | Telgi's operations were extensive and highly organized. He procured outdated printing machines from the official Indian Security Press in Nashik, hired hundreds of educated agents (reportedly MBAs) to distribute the fake stamp papers, and used bribes to corrupt a network of police, politicians, and government officials to keep his racket hidden. | | Discovery & Arrest | A 1% discount offered on a batch of stamp papers in Delhi raised suspicion and unraveled the entire empire. A Bengaluru police arrest of two people carrying fake papers in 2000 eventually led to Telgi himself, who was finally arrested in Ajmer, Rajasthan, in 2001. | | Legal Repercussions | Telgi was charged under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA). In 2007, he was convicted and sentenced to 30 years of rigorous imprisonment and a fine of ₹202 crore. | | Death | Abdul Karim Telgi passed away in a Bengaluru hospital in October 2017 due to multiple organ failure. He was reported to be HIV-positive. |
