It has been alleged that the company and its directors entered into a conspiracy with others and availed loans from the Banjara Hills branch of Bank of Baroda and later diverted the money for other purposes and personal gains. It has been further alleged that the accused submitted false stock statements to the bank to conceal their irregularities, falsified their books of accounts and willfully defaulted in repayments resulting in loss to the tune of Rs 61.86 crore approximately to the bank, according to CBI press release.
In a separate case, the CBI registered a case against six persons including three private companies based in Hyderabad for allegedly causing a loss of Rs 8.15 crore to Union Bank of India (earlier Andhra Bank).
