The court noted that the applicants were required for custodial interrogation and necessary seizures, according to a statement issued by StarAgri Warehousing and Collateral Management Limited. The investigation and legal proceedings will determine the facts and responsibilities of the parties concerned.
The case stems from a complaint lodged by StarAgri with Sendhwa Rural Police over an alleged fraud involving ₹19.76 crore. The company said it initiated legal action after finding discrepancies in pledged agricultural stock at its warehouses in Baniyahar, Madhya Pradesh.
During an inspection on July 24, the stock at the premises reportedly differed substantially from the records. The case involves allegations of unauthorised removal of pledged produce and the use of forged documents.
