How MMS & SMS stripped Religare bare of Rs 3,000 cr (IANS EXCLUSIVE)

The width and depth of the architecture of their fraud is gargantuan. The FIR against the duo along with erstwhile CEO Sunil Godhwani provides details of the modus operandi of the systematic asset stripping. Moreover, it once again throws into stark relief the fact that regulatory oversight failed and the company which saw an inspection as far back as 2010 managed to operate under the radar, continuing with innumerable irregularities without any fear.

How MMS & SMS stripped Religare bare of Rs 3,000 cr (IANS EXCLUSIVE)
New Delhi, Oct 18 (IANS) Asset stripping is something that Indian promoters have perfected into an art form.

The width and depth of the architecture of their fraud is gargantuan. The FIR against the duo along with erstwhile CEO Sunil Godhwani provides details of the modus operandi of the systematic asset stripping. Moreover, it once again throws into stark relief the fact that regulatory oversight failed and the company which saw an inspection as far back as 2010 managed to operate under the radar, continuing with innumerable irregularities without any fear.
