The case was registered following a complaint by the Punjab National Bank (PNB) that the directors along with several unknown persons siphoned off Rs.1,301 crore from the bank by availing credit facilities using false and fabricated documents.

The Jabalpur based Jagdamba AMW Automotive Ltd. and Pushpendra Singh, Yogendra Singh, Shailendra Singh, and Pratima Singh were booked for allegedly defrauding the Canara Bank of Rs.43.77 crore by availing credit facilities through forged documents.

Probing the matter, the CBI conducted searches in Chandigarh and Mohali in Punjab and Jabalpur and Reva in Madhya Pradesh.
