After the disclosure, the banks stopped lending to him and started asking for his money back. During that time, 72 criminal charges were levied and all the civil cases were filed.

Surprisingly, he also accused the then Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao of bribing one crore rupees in the name of getting rid of all cases. Which the Congress completely rejected.
