A financial fraud worth thousands of crores has been detected at the Gautam Thapar-promoted CG Power and Industrial Solutions.
The company had earlier informed stock exchanges that an investigation by an independent law firm had found that some employees had carried out unauthorised transactions, which led to a potential understatement of not only the liabilities of CG Power but even advances to related and unrelated parties of the company and the group.
The CG Power promoters have pledged 100 per cent of their holding in the company. YES Bank holds a nearly 13 per cent stake in the company, acquired through the revocation of a pledge.
