The CBI case stems from a complaint registered by the IDBI bank, wherein it was alleged that the accused conspired to commit fraud and misappropriate sanctioned loan money.

The central probe agency said the loan account was subsequently termed a wilful default and categorised as fraudulent. The fraud allegedly resulted in wrongful losses of ₹126.07 crore to the IDBI Bank Ltd.

However, Supertech has not released any statement in this regard.
