2014
Let’s assume the date today is 5th August, 2014.
We are going through newspaper and we come to know that Mr. Neeraj Singal M.D of Bhushan Steel has been arrested as he was caught giving bribe to a bank chairman for loans. Slowly the share price starts crashing after 6th August,2014 and there are freezes. Over time as it emerged the company soon went into bankruptcy. The problem was not with the asset however, with promoters.
We knew about business failure due to debt or slight corporate governance issues, however the exact nature of fraud carried out by the management (by taking money from company into personal accounts) surprised us.
