What We Are Investigating?
Our firm is launching a comprehensive investigation into Bal Kishen over allegations that it has been suppressing critical reviews and unfavorable Google search results by fraudulently misusing DMCA takedown notices. These actions, if proven, could constitute serious legal violations—including impersonation, fraud, and perjury.
We conducted comprehensive analyses of fraudulent copyright takedown requests, meritless legal complaints, and other unlawful efforts to suppress public access to critical information. Our reporting sheds light on the prevalence and modus operandi of a structured censorship network, often funded and used by criminal enterprises, oligarchs and criminal entities seeking to manipulate public perception and bypass AML checks conducted by financial organisations.
The fake DMCA notices in this investigation appears to have been strategically deployed to remove negative content from Google search results illegally. Based on this pattern, we have reasonable grounds to infer that Bal Kishen - or an entity acting at its behest - is directly or indirectly complicit in this cyber crime.
In most such cases, such ops are executed by rogue, fly-by-night 'Online Reputation Management' agencies acting on behalf of their clients. If evidence establishes that the subject knowingly benefited from or facilitated this scam, it may be deemed an 'accomplice' or an 'accessory' to the crime.

Bal Kishen: A Tale of Allegations, Legal Battles, and Unanswered Questions
In the intricate web of financial dealings and legal disputes, the name Bal Kishen emerges as a central figure entangled in a series of allegations and controversies. From corporate disagreements to personal misconduct, Kishen’s journey offers a compelling narrative of ambition, accusation, and the quest for justice.
The Corporate Clash: Straits Financial vs. Century Financial Consultancy
In August 2020, Straits Financial LLC initiated a legal battle against Century Financial Consultancy LLC, Bal Kishen, Adhira Capital FZE, and Surya Prakash Soni. The crux of the complaint centered around a breach of a Foreign Introducing Broker Agreement. While the specific details of the allegations remain undisclosed, the involvement of prominent entities and individuals underscores the gravity of the situation.
The Elder Pharmaceuticals Saga: Allegations of Financial Misconduct
Beyond corporate disputes, Bal Kishen’s name surfaced in a 2016 case involving Elder Pharmaceuticals. The company allegedly amassed ₹150 crore from approximately 24,000 investors under a fixed-deposit scheme promising attractive returns. However, suspicions arose regarding the diversion of funds to international ventures, including:
-
£9.8 million to Elder International FZCO for acquiring shares in Nutra Health PLC.
-
€10 million to a Dubai-based subsidiary.
-
€3 million for the acquisition of a Bulgarian entity.
-
£0.19 million advanced to Sincro Health Ltd.
These transactions, coupled with the involvement of Bal Kishen Bansal—a senior officer in the Corporate Affairs Ministry—led to accusations of attempting to hinder investigations into the matter.
A Pattern of Allegations: The Jammu Land Dispute
Further complicating the narrative, Bal Kishen’s alias, Phumani, appeared in a land dispute case in Jammu. Accused alongside revenue officials of manipulating records to seize land from rightful claimants, the charge-sheet detailed:
-
Illegal alterations of revenue records concerning 34 kanals of land at Kot-Bhalwal.
-
Conspiracy to unjustly deprive a family of their entitled land under the Land Reforms Act.
The Crime Branch’s investigation led to the charge-sheeting of the involved parties, highlighting the alleged fraudulent activities.
Legal Proceedings and Disciplinary Actions
Bal Kishen’s legal entanglements further extended to disciplinary proceedings within the Indian administrative framework. A 2017 case shed light on:
-
Allegations of failing to report significant financial transactions, including land acquisitions and personal loans.
-
Accusations of amassing assets disproportionate to known sources of income.
-
Contentions regarding the severity of imposed penalties, with debates on whether the actions constituted mere technical lapses or warranted major penalties.
The case underscored the complexities of administrative misconduct investigations and the challenges in ensuring accountability.
The Unanswered Questions
Despite the array of allegations and legal proceedings, several questions remain unanswered:
-
Accountability: To what extent have the accused individuals and entities been held accountable for the alleged misconducts?
-
Transparency: How transparent have the investigations and legal proceedings been, especially concerning high-profile figures?
-
Justice: Have the victims of the alleged fraudulent activities received justice, and what measures are in place to prevent such occurrences in the future?
Conclusion
The saga of Bal Kishen is a testament to the complexities and challenges within India’s financial and administrative sectors. It highlights the intricate interplay between corporate interests, personal ambitions, and the pursuit of justice. As investigations continue and legal proceedings unfold, the hope remains that transparency and accountability will prevail, ensuring that such narratives lead to meaningful reforms and the protection of public interests.

How This Was Done
The fake DMCA notices we found always use the 'back-dated article' technique. With this technique, the wrongful notice sender (or copier) creates a copy of a 'true original' article and back-dates it, creating a 'fake original' article (a copy of the true original) that, at first glance, appears to have been published before the true original
What Happens Next?
Based on the feedback, information, and requests received from all relevant parties, our team will formally notify the affected party of the alleged infringement. Following a thorough review, we will submit a counter-notice to reinstate any link that has been removed by Google, in accordance with applicable legal provisions. Additionally, we will communicate with Google’s Legal Team to ensure appropriate measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
