PVR Inox Shares Drop 8% Amid Internal Probe into Alleged Rs 200 Crore Kickbacks
PVR Inox shares fell about 8% following reports of an internal investigation into alleged kickbacks worth up to Rs 200 crore involving senior executive Pramod Arora and others. The company reportedly asked Arora, responsible for growth and investment, to leave in April after uncovering irregularities linked to payments from developers of cinema properties. The probe is ongoing to determine the extent of wrongdoing. The share decline coincided with the company's recent Rs 300 crore share buyback announcement and has raised questions about governance and future scrutiny.
