MCA crackdown on Chinese shell companies in India


After the simultaneous search and seizure operations conducted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs on 8th Sept. 2022, on the offices of Jillian Consultants India Private Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Jilian Hong Kong Ltd., at Gurgaon, Fininty Pvt Ltd at Bangalore and Husys Consulting Ltd, an erstwhile listed company at Hyderabad, the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) has arrested Mr Dortse yesterday.


Mr Dortse is on the Board of Jillian India Ltd and has clearly emerged as the mastermind of the whole racket of incorporating large number of shell companies with Chinese links in India and providing dummy Directors on their Boards. The arrested person Mr. Dortse had shown himself to be a resident of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh as per the records filed with the Registrar of Companies.


​Evidence procured during the enquiry by ROC Delhi and the simultaneous search operations clearly points to dummy Directors being paid by Jilian India Ltd. to act as dummies in several shell companies. Boxes filled with company seals and digital signatures of dummy directors have been recovered from the site.  The Indian employees were in touch with the Chinese counterparts through a Chinese instant messaging app. Husys Ltd. was also found to be acting on behalf of Jilian India Ltd.. Initial observations reveal that Husys Ltd. had a pact with Jilian Hong Kong Ltd. Investigations so far have revealed the possible involvement of these shell companies in serious financial crimes detrimental to the financial security of the country.


The Ministry of Corporate Affairs, under whose aegis SFIO operates, had assigned the investigation of Jilian Consultants India Private Limited and 32 other companies to SFIO on 9th  Sept., 2022. Mr. Dortse and one Chinese national are the two directors in Jilian Consultants India Private Limited. Based on inputs and the investigations carried out, it was gathered that Mr. Dortse had fled from Delhi NCR to a remote place in the state of Bihar and was attempting to escape India through the road route. Immediately, a special team was constituted in SFIO which was deputed to the said remote place. In the evening of 10th Sept., 2022, SFIO had arrested Mr. Dortse, who was later produced in the Jurisdictional Court and Orders for his transit remand were obtained.

Waluscha De Sousa hits a bull’s eye with Crackdown

The pandemic induced lockdown has surely brought everything digital to the forefront, highlighting its great importance in our life. In the entertainment sphere, 2020 has been all about OTTs, and several actors have made their debut in the digital sphere in recent times. One such actor is Waluscha De Sousa, who made her digital debut with the Voot Select Series ‘Crackdown’ with an incredibly praiseworthy performance.

The show was incredibly well-received by critics and audiences alike, receiving high praises for its stellar performances and taut plotline. Waluscha’s depiction of the fierce and feisty Garima Kalra was spectacular and caught the attention of viewers and reviewers.

The complex role involved an enormous amount of training on Waluscha’s part, as the film helmed by Apoorva Lakhia was packed with action scenes and stunts. The stunning actress’ efforts definitely paid off, as she masterfully and gracefully managed each sequence with ease. However, during the shooting, the ‘Fan’ star did have an accident which led to her tearing a ligament. Waluscha continued shooting despite her injury, as she didn’t want to cause any hindrance in the shoot.

This role has enabled the starlet to join the ranks of the other actresses that absolutely nailed their complicated adrenaline-pumping stunts and action sequences with absolute finesse. In addition to the stellar reviews for her performance, Waluscha certainly has reason to celebrate!
