Under the agreement, Mohan India will pay Rs 11 crore (less than 1.5 percent of outstanding loan) upfront, and the remaining amount will be paid over the next one year.
NK Protein's Nilesh Patel was also present during the interrogation. EOW sources say at the moment the borrower statement is also important to implicate Jignesh Shah.
