Vocal Opponent of the VDIS Scheme

When the then Deputy Director or Additional Commissioner of Income Tax asked the Vishwa Hindu Parishad to furnish its income tax returns for 1989-90, the notice was squashed[3] and although the Income tax department asked the VHP to submit details, the Central Government did not investigate the case but transferred him to Madras and then suspended him[4][5].

In 2000, Gupta also spoke against corruption in cricket[6] and made an allegation on an unnamed former Indian Cricket Captain to have declared ₹160 Million in the Voluntary Disclosure of Income Scheme in 1997[7]. He suspected abuse of the VDIS by criminals[8].

In a playlist of interviews viewed on YouTube, Mr. Gupta talks about various subjects related to corruption, political and scams in India.

The other interviews on his channel touch upon subjects like,

  1. 2G spectrum case,
  2. Oil Price Scam in India[9]
  3. Politicians and their Black money in Swiss Banks[10]
  4. Coal mining Scam[11][12].
