5. Speaking to NDTV, VV minerals stated, “These
allegations made by the former district collector are
baseless, motivated and vague.”
V Sundaram, first District Collector, wrote a letter
to the Chief Secretary of the state in January 2013
accusing VV Minerals of illegal mining worth over
Rs. 96,000 crores. The letter also accused state
government departments of favoring VV Minerals.
“The mining lease was given to them within 72
days, while the other companies are still waiting for
permission,” the letter stated.

business rivals.

was quoted by NDTV, "Sundaram is passing this as
a cruel joke. He is on the payroll of our business
rival. Our hands are clear. We will come out clear
from these allegations. Our records are straight.”
