The CBI today said it had booked textile major S Kumars Nationwide Ltd for allegedly indulging in loan fraud and cheating Union Bank of India worth over Rs 160 crore.

Officials said they acted on a bank complaint that alleged that the company and its promoters and directors, including Managing Director Nitin Kasliwal and directors Vijay Goverdhandas Kalantri, Anil Kumar Channa, Rajinder Krishan Garg and Jagadeesh Sanjeeva Reddy, indulged in fraudulent transactions causing a loss to the bank.

The firm had availed various credit facilities from the bank, which turned into a non-performing asset in 2013, and the account was declared “fraud” in 2020 after an audit. — TNS

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
