“My son was acquitted from Court of Law. Kotak Mahindra Bank orchestrated the entire fraud and false case to grab a property which was taken on lease by one of the companies which we ran. Kotak Mahindra Bank and Virendra are directly involved in creating false and forged loan documents to implicate my son. It took my family eight long years to come out clean, but we lost prestige, business respectability and faced social humiliation, besides suffering huge monetary losses in fighting the case. I will now file a defamation suit against Kotak. I have also approached the Reserve Bank of India seeking immediate revocation of banking license of Kotak Mahindra Bank,” said Dr. Bagla.
