A company spokesperson said,

The case is closed after the investigation team found no evidence to substantiate any allegation of forgery and fund diversion against Avitel. The EOW closure report categorically stated that Avitel had utilized the proceeds for purchase of machinery and business purposes to cater international expansion. It further clarifies that there was no siphoning of money as alleged by HSBC.
