Prince Michael of Kent is patron of the DVK Foundation – a ‘charity’ organization set up by Deepak Kuntawala
Kuntawala was in Mumbai on 26/11 when terrorists struck. He ‘saved’ 150 people from the terrorists and received an award for his heroism by the Maharashtra governor. He also helped organise a ‘gala’ event in London at which almost £250,000 was pledged to support victims of the attack.
Prince Michael is in Mumbai to attend the Global Economic Summit being held at the Taj Mahal Palace. When asked by a reporter from the Mumbai Mirror about claims that Kuntwala had greatly exaggerated his role during the 26/11 attacks, that the Maharashtra governor claimed never to have met him far less confer a bravery award on him, that several vendors who supplied goods and services for the London Gala have still not been paid, and that claims that the DVK Foundation is affiliated to other reputable charities are not true – the Prince replied
“These allegations are false”
Hhmm, a more prudent man would have given a more cautious, neutral response. The allegations against Kuntawala are currently the subject of a police investigation.
