Info Edge, which had invested about Rs 288 crore in 4B Networks via its subsidiary, had first flagged corporate governance issues in the startup back in early 2023 post a forensic audit. Besides a complaint with EOW in Mumbai, the matter is under arbitration.
In a complaint to Mumbai Police, Info Edge alleges that Yadav has made several high-value transactions to individuals, companies and vendors associated with him.
Rahul Yadav's anticipatory bail plea was denied by a Mumbai city sessions court.
Rahul Yadav and Sanjay Saini have also filed for anticipatory bail in the criminal case against them.
Meanwhile, Yadav’s delaying tactics continue as 4B Networks asks for more time in its arbitration proceedings with Innov8 and Info Edge. He was also questioned twice by the Mumbai Police this week.
A first information report (FIR) has been registered by the Mumbai police against Yadav and Sanjay Saini of 4B Networks for cheating. Sources close to the development say that a lookout notice has been issued against Yadav.
The Info Edge said they have had discussions internally and reviewed matters if something needs to be changed, to see if they need to tighten due diligence, etc
Info Edge said after it did not receive any information and access for the forensic audit, it sent a legal notice and also filed a petition before the Delhi High Court for protection under relevant sections of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act.
