Gujarat-based Pharma Company Sterling Biotech has been involved in a Rs 5,000 crore bank fraud. Nitin Sandesara and Chetan Sandesara who happens to be the directors of the film set up nearly 300 shell companies in India and Foreign to avail credit facility of around Rs 5,000 crore. They were even involved in fake sales & purchases, insider trading and manipulating balance sheets. CBI and Enforcement Directorate booked Nitin Sandesara, Chetan Sandesara, Former Andhra Bank Director Anup Garg, CA Hemanth Hathi and few other bank officials. Some of the assets of Sterling Biotech have been attached by investigation agencies already.
