A senior police official privy to the investigation said that a complaint was received and after an initial inquiry into the allegations, the FIR was registered.
“We welcome the registration of an FIR by the EOW in the company’s complaint in relation to the criminal offenses by Mr. Grover, his wife Madhuri Jain, and other family members. For the last 15 months, the Company has been facing a vicious and malicious campaign run by Grover against the Company, the board, and its employees,” said BharatPe in a statement.
“The registration of the FIR is a step in the right direction which unearths various suspicious transactions made by the family for their personal pecuniary gains. This FIR will now enable the Law enforcement agencies to investigate deeper into the criminality and bring the culprits to books,” it said.
