NEW DELHI: The CBI has filed an FIR against industrialist Gautam Thapar, promoter of the Avantha Group, and several others in connection with an alleged bank fraud case of Rs 466 crore. Thapar and others have been accused of defrauding Yes Bank by availing a loan which turned into a non-performing asset (NPA).
The agency confirmed that searches were conducted at 14 locations in Delhi and NCR, Lucknow, Secunderabd and Kolkata on Wednesday which led to recovery of incriminating documents and digital evidence.
The action by the bank and the anti graft agency comes promptly in just over a year of the loan turning an NPA and the account being flagged by the lender.
