Frontline has an interview by R. Ilangovan with
Subash Chandra Kapoor, ‘
I have been framed’ (Jan 9, 2014). He said he never traded in stolen goods. His arrest, he
claimed, was a part of an international conspiracy.
The charges of idol-lifting against me are as rubbish as the claims that
these visuals of stolen idols “resemble” the ones I sold to different
buyers. To prove the claims of “resemblance” you need documentary
evidence from experts and not a few smudged photographs. [...] The Tamil
Nadu Police for some bizarre reasons has framed me in this serious
crime. I know who are behind this conspiracy.[...] An art dealer in Singapore, a woman, against whom
I won a half-a- million-dollar suit in a Singapore court, is behind
this. She used to file email complaints against me, and based on those
the Tamil Nadu Police arrested me. It is a conspiracy to destroy my billion-dollar business built
studiously on faith and reputation.[...] The Tamil Nadu Police
would find it difficult to prove their charges against me.
Kapoor denies any knowledge of recent developments in New York, so could not comment on them.
