Based on Early Warning Signals (EWS), the borrower was labelled as a “Red Flagged Account” on March 6, 2020.” According to the preliminary investigation report of the agency (FIR).
Multiple agencies including the Enforcement Directorate are investigating Thapar in connection with the Yes Bank scam in which the private bank’s co-founder, Rana Kapoor was detained.
Aside from the ED, he is being investigated by the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) for corruption charges at CG Power & Industrial Solutions and 14 other linked entities.

On March 31, 2019, the company’s total debt stood at Rs 2,455.39 crore (fund-based, including short-term loans) and Rs 1,380 crore (non-fund based).
