According to the ED investigation, the agency said that it has found several irregularities in the management of the bank and it was also revealed that amounts totaling Rs 57 crore (approximately) were found to be involved on account of the above irregularities and that the bank suffered massive asset impairment due to its mismanagement and irregularities.
