Burmans, who holds around 25% of REL, announced an open offer on September 25, 2023, to acquire a 26% stake from the public shareholders. The open offer plan sparked a row between Religare’s management led by Saluja and the Burmans, with both sides trading charges.
The Burmans have accused the Religare leadership of corporate governance lapses. Religare has accused the Burmans of fraud and other wrongdoing, including colluding with former promoters Malvinder and Shivinder Singh.
