NEW DELHI: The CBI has filed a chargesheet against New Delhi-based toy-manufacturing private company for defrauding a consortium of 12 banks led by Punjab National Bank to the tune of Rs 2,040.63 crore.

It was also alleged the company had inflated its turnover by entering into non-genuine transactions with certain parties. These trades were allegedly done in circular transactions amounting to Rs 560 crore in order to siphon money from banks and the funds diverted or personal gains of directors/promoters.
