Imagine, a tweet like this from Naukri(.)com appears on your TL.(pic)

Part-3 #Karobaar of the series- ‘Decoding Messiah’.

If you have missed 1st/2nd, pls go through it first (last tweet).

Now let’s dive into Sonu Sood’s million bucks business web.

Co-Research @vinod1703
1/
2020. Pandemic year. Highly uncertain for economy. Many biz-houses slowed/shut except a few cash-rich ones. Sood, never projected as a businessman, exploited his "philanthropist" brand value, backed by heavy PR, launched not just 1-2 but 8 new ventures in the span of a year.
2/
Between Nov19-Dec20, Sood & co. paid INR60Cr cap (registered). Interestingly, one of them is a real estate venture Omsai Homes LLP of (53Cr) & 70% (37Cr) infused by Anil Kr Singh, a top bizman, associated with Samajwadi Party & have been once advisor of then CM Akhilesh Yadav.
3/
During the migrant crisis, Sood came up with 'Pravasi Rojgar' with lots of band-baja through Sood Infotech Pvt Ltd. Within 4 months a Singapore-based investment co. TEMASEK infused INR 250 Cr & then he seemingly soft exited from business.
4/
A compelling chronology-
a. 31Mar20: GoodWorker Pvt Ltd established
b. 23Jul20: Sood launched Pravasi Rojgar
c. 27Jul20: PR work
d. 02&20Aug'20: GW & Sood endorsed eachother
e. 26Nov20: GW made JV with Pravasi Rojgar (almost took over) with whooping Rs. 250Cr,
5/
..bringing Sonali Sood as proxy BoD, can be seen at last of the list without any introduction link at GW website.
So, within 8 months a seemingly pre-staged biz-deal executed well as ‘philanthropist’ activity.

Now take a look at these pictures again.
6/
Similarly for his 'Zero investment scheme,' is nothing but a business deal with Spice Digital Ltd through Sood Informatics LLP, by subscribing for 8.69 lakh shares of SGL (approx 2% of total cap).

7/
For real estate adventures, Sood is a 'habitual offender' as per BMC for illegal construction. Notices remain unheard, for instance, a residential building converted into a hotel without permission. However, seems every time someone saves him from stern action from BMC.
8/
Maybe in the future, his disciple from free IAS/CA coaching would be able to help him in better planning. Btw, while writing this thread Sood came up with a new Travel co. & Im sure by the time you would read it, one more would be launching.

9/
Be it illegal construction or drug hoarding charges, Sood knows his business model well & continues to exploit it through heavy PR that fits for a wide audience, including the Sports ministry that shocked many by promoting Sood as brand ambassador for Spl. Olympics'22.
10/
This thread doesn't question anyone's money-making ability but shows the holistic insight of PR, 'violated' crowdfunding & business trails camouflaged as 'philanthropist Messiah' & THAT IS UNJUST WITH REAL UNSUNG HEROS.

🧵 In case you missed it back then… Tale of two.

Start with first- Behere — an AAP supporter (read diehard Modi hater)— and his brilliance⬇️

1/ Image
Behere once donated ₹25,000 to Saket Gokhale, convinced that Gokhale was “fighting” the so-called fascist regime on his own.
His hate for Modi was so blinding that he fell for it without a second thought.

He regretted it.

2/ Image
A while later, Smart-ass Behere dared to ask Gokhale what had been done with his donation.

Gokhale flatly refused to give any accountability — said he might use the funds for “sustenance.”

Behere held him "bhraminical fraud".

This isn’t a Bollywood script. But could’ve been!

Late night in Noida, a plainclothes police team crept into the dark lanes of Nahal- a locality notorious for sheltering criminal elements.

Target: a 24-year-old young auto-theft kingpin - Qadir.

1/🧵 Image
Image
Acting on a tip-off, the team approached quietly, hoping to make a silent arrest. But fate has written something else for all the characters in this story.

As soon as cops approached and he sensed the trap, Qadir raised an alarm (read SOS) hysterically.

2/
Within seconds, Nahal came alive and a mob of "unidentified locals" swarmed in, hurling stones offering a great resistance to the arrest of their local hero.

Amid the chaos, Qadir's man opened fire, hitting Ct. Saurabh Kumar straight in the head.

He couldn't make it.

To start with Hamdard is a WAQF property since 1948. The owners made some arrangement of keep the company & family running and the part pledged to the God.

The arrangements were made in the name of (a) Khandani Income and (b) Quomi Income

2/ Image
After reserving 1/8 part (ultimately for muwwalis caretakers) of

Khandani Income is for personal (family) needs 1/4th and rest for community). Net net 75% as WAQF charity. In fact Hamdard has taken tax exemption on this Quomi income part.

How Abu Salem escaped the death penalty in the 1993 Mumbai Serial blasts case ; and so can Tahawwur Rana too?

Here is a small explanation!

Abu Salem was extradited from Portugal in 2005 and according to the extradition treaty....
🧵
1/8 Image
Image
India cannot impose the death penalty or a sentence more than 25 years of imprisonment on him.

Salem recently argued in court that he had already served 25 years in 2025, including his time in custody before extradition and while in Portugal.

2/
However, the Supreme Court held that his sentence officially began in 2005, meaning he completes 25 years in Indian custody only by 2030.

Now, the SC has directed the Maharashtra government and the Centre to respond to his plea for release.
