<p>It is alleged that Dhoot supplied crores of rupees to a company linked to Deepak Kochhar six months after the Videocon group received Rs 3,250 crore as loan from the ICICI Bank in the year 2012. The Videocon group had sought a loan worth a whopping Rs 40,000-crore from a host of banks.</p>

<p>Dhoot is accused of financing &nbsp;NuPower Renewables Pvt Ltd (NRPL) with Rs 64 crore in 2010.
