On the evening of Thursday 10 October, Shivinder and Malvinder Singh, two brothers among the richest men in India, were arrested over a $330m. fraud.
These businessmen are the sons of the founder of Ranbaxy and they inherited multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical laboratories. The company was sold to the Japanese firm Daiichi Sankyo in 2008 but the two brothers retained the Fortis Healthcare hospital chain.
The financial service firm Religare Finvest gave loans to companies owned by the two brothers and other executives. This money was used to refund liabilities of the firm. But they forgot to pay back their loans and Religare Finvest ended up in “poor financial condition”. So, the company filed a complaint against the brothers and their associates. Shivinder and Malvinder Singh lost control of Fortis Healthcare because of this fraud problems.

Malversations record à Delhi
Dans la soirée du jeudi 10 octobre, Shivinder et Malvinder Singh, deux des plus riches hommes d’affaires en Inde, ont été arrêtés à cause d’une escroquerie de 330 M$.
Ces deux frères sont les fils du fondateur de Ranbaxy et ont hérité de ses laboratoires pharmaceutiques valant plusieurs milliards de dollars. Cette société a été vendue à la firme japonaise Daiichi Sankyo en 2008, mais les deux frères possédaient toujours la chaîne d’hôpitaux Fortis Healthcare.
Les deux frères ont donc été arrêtés par la police de Delhi pour « infractions économiques ». Ils ont été mis en examen pour abus de confiance envers Religare Finvest selon le département des infractions économique, ce que les hommes d’affaires nient.
Le procès était prévu ce vendredi.
