A significant number of companies in the top donor list were under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate or the Income Tax Department at some point of time during the past five years, according to analysis of firms which feature among the top purchasers of electoral bonds.
In some cases, a chunk of the bonds were bought by these firms, in the days following such searches.
The Future Gaming and Hotel Services Pvt Ltd was the largest donor to political parties via the electoral bond route, with a cumulative sum of Rs. 1,368 crore, according to a report in The Hindu.
The electoral bond buying spree by Future Gaming was undertaken in 2019 just days after the Union Home Ministry issued a warning to states about its owner, the "lottery king" Santiago Martin, according to a report in The Indian Express.
The Centre's message alerted the eight lottery running states about the alleged "frauds" and "irregularities" linked to Martin's companies led by the flagship Future Gaming and Hotel
Services Pvt Ltd and told them to stay away. The Home Ministry mentioned the states of West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Punjab where Martin was allegedly operating Future Gaming and Hotels, the report said.
