Wow! Now it makes sense how Dr. Rajendra Bothra was well connected in the Indian Bollywood industry. I personally recall big Bollywood stars opting to stay over his house during their US trip instead of a local 5 star hotel...mind you, this was back in late 90s. I hadn't heard of him in a while thinking he might've retired or died. This is a shocker that they're taking him down while in his retirement. Feds do not kid around!

It is well known that a lot of Bollywood was bankrolled by the Indian underworld in the 90s. This used to be much more common before the recent (last 10-15 years) which led to more corporate like setups. I am assuming a lot of the underworld folks slowly cleaned some of the stuff. But also very well known that the industry is very incestuous and dynasty oriented at least as far as many actors are concerned. Not the least surprised.
That's what you get for making millions of dollars by taking advantage of people's trust and ruining their lives.
