It further said that the actual value of the property was approximately Rs 550 crore, which was acquired by Rana Kapoor for approximately Rs 378 crore, and the proceeds of the sale were not used fully to liquidate the existing loan, later declared NPA by the bank.

The property was allegedly purchased in the name of a company where the wife of Kapoor, Bindu Rana Kapoor, was the Director and authorized signatory.

After this, Rana Kapoor extended an additional loan of approximately Rs 1,360 crore to the other companies belonging to him during and after the acquisition of the property.
