B.R. Shetty Files 15 Billion Rupee Lawsuit Against Bank of Baroda Over Alleged NMC Fraud
B.R. Shetty, founder of NMC Healthcare and UAE Exchange, has filed a lawsuit in the Bombay High Court seeking 15 billion rupees in damages from Bank of Baroda and 25 other defendants. He alleges the bank and some officials facilitated financial fraud linked to his business collapse by processing suspicious transactions, ignoring anti-money laundering alerts, and pursuing him on guarantees he claims are forged. Shetty seeks compensation for direct losses, consequential damages, and reputational harm, along with 18% annual interest on the claimed amounts. The allegations remain unproven in court.
