Just a day after car designer and enthusiast Dilip Chhabria was arrested in connection with a sports car registration and finance forgery case, a team of the Crime Intelligence Unit (CIU) carried out raids at the official premises of DC Designs.
The officers have found that the company manufactured about 463 DC Avanti sports cars since 2016, and they suspect that 50 per cent of those vehicles were illegally registered by Chhabria to get loans from NBFCs and two private banks. The crime branch confirmed that they would do a forensic audit to analyse the company's financial records.
