According to the CBI, it has been alleged that the directors of said private company entered into a conspiracy among themselves and others during the years 2017-2018 and, in pursuance thereof, obtained a credit facility in the form of a term loan of Rs 9.85 crore (approximately) from UCO Bank, Mandi for the construction of a showroom, the purchase of plant and machinery and other allied items.
