Investigators claim there is much more to be revealed in the near future. The roles of six nationalised banks and their officials are under the scanner for irregularities and violations of RBI guidelines. Thirteen accused were detected in the case and six were arrested, including DSK, his wife Hemanti Kulkarni and his relatives Kedar Vanjpe, Sai Vanjpe, Dhananjay Pachpor and Vinay badgandi.
As per the chargesheet, nine companies were floated by DSK and his accomplices (mostly his relatives) to siphon off money collected from banks and 33,000 investors.
