The email below sketches personality of Harsha Mukherjee a bit. In the past few years, she has accused more than half a dozen folks, from whom she has taken money, favours, connections and accused them of sexually assaulting her, including a couple of senior IAS officers above the ranks of Jt. Secretary, a large business owner, a senior political operative, a candidate for Lok Sabha from a leading national party and others.

Dear Mr Rajesh Soni

I received a call from a number
+[protected]. The truecaller suggest that it is your number. You purported to have called me on behalf of Ms. Harsha Mukherji.

The voice during conversation was unclear, hence, I tried calling you from my other number. But, I am getting response that your number is not valid.

Nonetheless, you alleged in the conversation that I introduced Ms Mukherji to some politicians and one of them has assulated her. You also alleged that I am aware about it. Well, i am not aware about any assault.

As far as Ms Harsha Mukherji is concerned, she approached Vice Chairman of Bajaj Industries Mr Madhur Bajaj and requested him to help her to achieve her political aspirations.

Mr Bajaj diverted her to his another close friend, Mr Amit Patel with the request to help her. Mr Patel requested me to help Ms. Mukherji as I was regularly visiting Delhi till August, 2017.

I met Ms Mukherji. She introduced herself as a well known CSR activist. In the conversation, she informed me that she was actively involved with AAM Adami Party but she was not happy as she was looked down there.

I told her that I really don't know any politician, who can employ her. But, she must utilise her CSR platform to form association with politicians. Advised her to continue with AAM Adami Party till she found another alignment. She told me often told me that she wanted to get into politics for making money and power.

She met me in Delhi, when i introduced her to Mr Manuj Singh Chauhan, who is pursuing his career with BJP party. In the meantime, Ms Mukherji told me that she wanted to contest elections, hence, she wanted some action in life. So, I advised her to help a candidate, Mr Lalitesh Tripathi in Mirzapur, UP for vidhansabha elections.

I introduced Mr Lalitesh Tripathi with Ms Harsha Mukherji. He agreed to allow Ms Mukherji to go to his constituency and seek ground reality experience. Ms Mukherji was received and kept in a very safe place in Varanasi during her visit. She did her work and came back safely.

To my shock and surprise, Ms Mukherji started calling me late night and telling me that she has fallen in love with Mr Lalaitesh Triapthi. She used to tell me that she was willing to wait for him forever. It was shock of my life. I told her that it may be a good propositition, if both of them like each other and go ahead in life.

Well, it appears that Ms Mukherji had one sided feeling for Mr Lalitesh Tripathi. She told me that Mr Tripathi was not even answering her calls. This made her realise that Mr Tripathi was not at all interested in Ms Harsha Mukherji.

Soon, I came to know in Delhi that Harsha was planning to become a big political broker. And she was working on strategy to create closeness with IAS officers lobby in association with Mr Manuj.

They planned some event in excavation (Minning) industry. Mr Manuj says, he taught her, how to approach officers, give presentations and make them agree to come for the event. I am informed that Cabinet minister Steels and Minning attended the event.

Well, i didnt attend the event.

I was nowhere involved in any of the activity. Just introduced her to people, she wanted to meet. I was never concerned with her activities. I just met her few times in Mumbai and Delhi. But, I have come to know from many people that Ms Mukherji and Mr Manuj was seen drinking together in different bars in Delhi.

However, somewhere in the month of March, 18, Ms Mukherji called me. She told me that she wanted to meet me to discuss some thing. She came down to my hotel.

We went for lunch to a place in Canaught Place, where she told me that she will not sit and drink with Manuj. She asked me to speak to Manuj and set a deal for her that she will now work with him but no socializing. I refused to interfere because I am no way concerned with their work.

However, when i discussed Ms Mukherji with Manuj, he told me that he advised her to do an event on tourism. He said, she is insisting to invite Prime minister of India and Vice president of India. He further informed me that he had paid 40 thousand Bill in last event, which she hasn't returned. Moreover, I felt as if he doesn't want to do an event with her.

I know only these thing. Don't know anything beyond. I don't know, if two friends get involved with each other or do business together. I don't care as each of them are adults.

Surprisingly, Ms Mukherji started messaging me yesterday late night. According to her, it was the biggest mistake of her life to meet me. Well, she cane to me because she wanted some introductions. I never wanted anything out of her.

In these circumstances, you being an unknown person calling me and threatening me on behalf of Ms Harsha Mukherji is absolutely unwarranted. I am not interesting in knowing about her travel plan.

She is an adult. She told me several times she choose men of her choice and has intimate relationship with them. Likewise, she chooses her business partners.

She met some one with me. She chooses to do business with them. When they have dispute, it looks like preplanned to her.

She goes to seek field experience in politics and starts liking someone, who doesn't respond her calls. She starts making allegations taht it was preplanned.

And suddenly you come into picture and make threatening calls to a person, who has nothing to do with it. This is not acceptable for me. Let her go and file a police complaint, if anything has gone wrong with her. How, am I responsible for her deeds.

Please do not repeat this incident again. I will not welcome this type of phone calls.
