Kejriwal gave details of Swiss bank account holders. The IAC activist said the government had details of 700 Swiss bank account holders in the HSBC Bank in Geneva.
"We got a CD - HSBC's Geneva branch has 700 accounts of Indian nationals. That list is available with the government with the amounts in the accounts in December 2006," Kejriwal said. He claimed the government was involved in the cover-up.
Mukesh and Anil Ambani, Naresh Goyal along with other leading industrialists in the Daburand Birla group were some of the account holders, he said.
Anu Tandon and Sandeep Tandon - former IRS, ED official - who raided Reliance has 125 crores were other names Kejriwal discloses.
"In July 2011, Indian Government received a list of roughly 700 people having bank accounts in HSBC, Geneva. The list contains bank balances of these people in 2006," Kejriwal said.
Kejriwal said they could not access all the names but the following names appeared in that list:
Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambai - Rs 100 crores
Anil Dhirubhai Ambani - Rs 100 crores
Motech Software Private Ltd (Reliance Group company) - Rs 2,100 crores
Reliance Industries Ltd - Rs 500 crores
Sandeep Tandon - Rs 125 crores
Anu Tandon - Rs 125 crores
Kokila Dhirubhai Ambani - She has an account but there was no balance on that date
Naresh Kumar Goyal - Rs 80 crores
Burmans (3 family members) - Rs 25 crores
Yashovardhan Birla - no balance
Arvind Kejriwal said the CBI had said there was Rs 25 lakh crore black money in Swiss banks. These 700 names account for only Rs 6000 crore, he said.
Kejriwal also accused HSBC Bank of helping route illgotten money.
The expose-press conference — that has now become an almost weekly affair — has already served judgment on two political figures, Robert Vadra and Nitin Gadkari, and a corporate czar, Mukesh Ambani.
IAC headed by activists Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan has created a profile for the till now unnamed political party on the perception that leading ruling parties Congress and BJP are corrupt and hand-in-glove with big business.
While speculation was rife on Thursday night on the probable targets, IAC members were tight-lipped learning from the Gadkari fiasco that gave the main Opposition a few days' time to prepare their case against the allegations of corruption raised against them.
