The case came to light in August 2016 when Maruti Pandurang Rathod, a farmer from Parbhani, found a loan had been taken in his name. It was later found that GSEPL had alleged siphoned the money loaned in the names of the farmers without their knowledge. The farmers later approached the HC, which ordered police to constitute a special team to probe the matter.
