New Delhi: In yet another incident of loan frauds, the Central Bureau of Investigation, filed a case against Chennai-based Kanishk Gold Private Limited, for an alleged loan fraud to the tune of Rs 824.15 crore. The case was registered on a complaint by State Bank of India, on behalf of the consortium of 14 banks, which had paid loans.

The company’s promoter director Bhoopesh Kumar Jain, director Neeta Jain, Tejraj Achha, Ajay Kumar Jain and Sumit Kedia have been booked by the investigating agencies along with a few unidentified public servants, reports stated.

The company was managing its marketing under brand name ‘Krizz’ till 2014 and started business with large retail jewellers under the name B2B (business-to-business) since 2015. Its banking system was converted into multi-banking arrangement in March 2011.

The CBI, while carrying out searches at the offices and residence of the senior officials, found out that though the alleged fraud committed is to the tune of Rs 824.15 crore, the security to cover losses is only around Rs 156.65 crore.

This alleged loan bank fraud comes in the wake of diamond merchant Nirav Modi’s fraud case, which was uncovered recently.
