On late Wednesday evening, Karnataka Bank Ltd had informed the stock exchanges that it has reported a fraud to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) amounting to ₹86.47 crore in the fund-based working capital facilities extended to Gitanjali Gems Ltd on account of non-realisation of exports bills and diversion of funds.
