CBI Investigates 69-Crore Bank Fraud by Ahmedabad Edible Oil Firm
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is probing a 69-crore fraud involving Map Refoils India Ltd, an Ahmedabad-based edible oil company, and its directors. The Bank of Baroda-led consortium alleges the company defaulted on loans taken between 2018 and 2021, falsified financial statements, and concealed related-party transactions. The loan account was declared a non-performing asset in August 2021 following a cash-flow crisis. The case includes charges under the Indian Penal Code and Prevention of Corruption Act against the company, former directors, and unidentified public servants.
