A case and probe have been registered against Niira Radia's two firms including Nayati Healthcare by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police. Niira Radia is the chairperson and promoter of the firms who came into the controversy over the infamous Radia tape.
The other firm that is named in the EOW FIR is the Narayani investment private limited along with the Gurugram health firm. Both are facing accusations of misappropriating funds amounting to more than Rs 300 crore that were obtained through a loan.
The two firms, Nayati and Narayani, have been accused of siphoning, embezzlement and forgery of bank loan amounting to Rs 312.50 crore in 2018-2020 in Primamed hospital projects of Gurugram and Vimhans Hospital Delhi.
The complaint was filed by Rajeev K. Sharma, a Delhi-based orthopaedic surgeon.
According to sources, the firms embezzled crores from bank loan by opening fictitious accounts in the name of various well-known contractors and directly transferred loan money to these accounts.
Sharma in his complaint accused that the loan and equity money of over Rs 400 crore has been siphoned off "brazenly" while the Gurugram Hospital building's condition has "become worse than before".
The Nayati Healthcare later issued a statement regarding the case.
"Dr Sharma being a member of the board was a party and signatory to all the actions of the company. Due to differences which arose pursuant to conducting of a forensic audit of the activities of the previous management under Dr Rajeev Sharma, certain issues of misappropriation and malicenses came to light. These issues were taken up with Dr Sharma and was duly reported to the police in the form of a complaint (sic)," the statement read.
