The CBI had registered a case on March 30, 2015 against Mohan Kumar and others on allegations that they fraudulently obtained two cheques from KMV Projects – one for Rs.20 lakh in October, 2012 and the another for Rs 10 lakh in December 2013 on the pretext of “Loan Syndicate Fee” and “Consortium Processing Fee”.

“He used the said Rs. 30 lakh for his personal benefits. He invested in SBI mutual funds in his wife’s name instead of crediting the same to the bank, thereby misappropriating Rs.30 lakh.
