A manager with Indian Overseas Bank, in his complaint, had claimed Kamboj was one of the three directors of a company that took a loan of Rs 52 crore from the bank and then used the loan money for other purposes.

Based on the complaint, the MRA Marg police had registered an FIR under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 409 (criminal breach of trust) among other offences. The FIR was later transferred to the city police's Economic Offences Wing (EOW) for further investigation.
