CID chargesheets Ramesh Jarkiholi for bank fraud

Bengaluru, Apr 25 (UNI) The Karnataka Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has filed a chargesheet against BJP MLA and former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi and two of his associates for allegedly defrauding cooperative banks of Rs 439.12 crore.
The 4,888-page chargesheet, submitted on April 22, comes after the High Court of Karnataka permitted the agency to proceed with its filing while hearing Jarkiholi's petition seeking to quash the FIR, official sources said on Friday.
The case relates to loan defaults by Gokak-based Sowbhagya Lakshmi Sugars Ltd., which received ₹232.88 crore in credit facilities between 2013 and 2017 from Karnataka State Cooperative Apex Bank and the district central cooperative banks (DCCBs) of Vijayapura, Tumakuru, Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada.
