The properties belong to Beereddy Narasimha Reddy and Anil Beniprasad Aggarwal and include a land parcel and a residential flat. The probe is based on FIRs registered by CBI units in Chennai and Hyderabad.

Investigators found that fake land documents and fabricated agreements were used to secure loans and encash a Rs 1 crore bank guarantee. Loan proceeds were diverted through group entities for other liabilities.
