"Affidavit Signed By Me": Businessman Rebuts Mahua Moitra's Charge

Darshan Hiranandani said he spoke up since the cash for query allegations named him "directly and personally".

Businessman Darshan Hiranandani broke silence on his explosive affidavit today to insist that he has not filed it under pressure -- an allegation made by Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, who is currently battling cash for query allegations.

In an interview of Times Now, Mr Hiranandani said he spoke up since the cash for query allegations named him "directly and personally".

Calling his actions a "crazy error of judgment and deeply regrettable," he said he has embarrassed himself directly and "my company indirectly" and it was "incumbent on me to come forth".
