Sugars, OBC plunger 9-20%:
Shares of Oriental Bank of Commerce and Simbhaoli Sugars
lost 9-20 percent intraday on Monday as investors turned cautious post
developments of a likely fraud involving the sugar firm.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said on Sunday it
had filed a fraud case against executives of Simbhaoli Sugar for causing
alleged losses of Rs 1.09 billion to state-run Oriental Bank of Commerce,
reports Reuters. The bank alleged that the sugar refiner “dishonestly and
fraudulently diverted” a Rs 1.48-billion-loan sanctioned in 2011 for financing
cane farmers for private use, a statement issued by CBI said.
This is the second case in three days registered by the CBI
upon complaints from the Oriental Bank of Commerce. The police has registered a
case against several top officials of Simbhaoli Sugar, including its chairman
and managing director, chief executive and chief financial officer, some
unknown bank officials, and other private persons.
