About a year ago, when businessman Ratul Puri’s name cropped up in a money laundering case linked to the high-profile AgustaWestland chopper scam investigations, few outside India’s corporate fraternity knew who he was. The media was quick to reduce his identity to that of being the nephew of Congress veteran Kamal Nath, who at the time was leading his party’s campaign in the Madhya Pradesh assembly polls. The 47-year-old Ratul Puri is Nath’s nephew, son of the MP chief minister’s sister, Nita Puri and her husband, Deepak Puri.
