Subsequently, charge-sheet was filed by CBI against M/s Narayan Niryat India Pvt Ltd. and several other related entities and individuals.

ED investigation revealed that M/s Narayan Niryat India Pvt. Ltd., controlled by Kailash Chandra Garg fraudulently obtained loans amounting to about Rs. 110.50 crore through Letters of Credit (LCs) and Export Packing Credit (EPC) from a consortium of banks led by UCO Bank. Although these funds were projected as being used for legitimate business purposes, the investigation established that no actual purchases or exports were carried out.

Instead, the funds were routed through various group entities of Ambika Solvex Ltd. in circular transactions to create a false appearance of business activities.

The loan proceeds were subsequently diverted for personal and corporate gains, including investment in immovable properties and cash withdrawals through a complex network of related companies and firms controlled by Kailash Chandra Garg, thereby concealing and laundering the diverted funds. ED has earlier issued two Provisional Attachment Orders attaching 37 immovable properties worth Rs 27.67 Crore in this case.Further investigation is under progress.
