According to a senior CBI official, the agency filed the charge sheet against its promoters and directors for allegedly diverting funds to 18 shell companies floated by them for wrongful gains.
On September 27 this year, the CBI had arrested Vijay Rajendra Prasad Gupta, the Chairman and Managing Director of Vindhyavasini Steel Corporation Pvt Ltd from Haridwar in connection with the bank fraud case.
