Shivinder Mohan Singh and Malvinder Mohan Singh (R)NEW DELHI: As the feuding former Fortis and Ranbaxy promoters — the Singh brothers — reportedly came to blows, younger brother Shivinder Singh on Friday said the latest incident closes all options for any possible solution to work together with his elder sibling, Malvinder Singh.
In the latest twist to their fight, Malvinder, in a video circulated on social media had claimed he was hit by Shivinder during a board meeting of a group company on Wednesday. The former posted a picture that seemed to show him injured.
“This is false and a shameless attempt to cast doubt on my integrity. It has been clear to me for some time that Malvinder and I cannot work together. The gulf between our value systems is clearly too wide. This latest incident closes all options for any possible solution to work together,” Shivinder said on Friday.
The bust-up reportedly happened as Shivinder was allegedly trying to disrupt the board meeting of a group company, Prius Real Estate, which he claimed has lent around Rs 2,000 crore to companies owned by Gurinder Singh Dhillon and his family.
Putting out his side of the incident, Shivinder said he visited “our office for a scheduled extraordinary general meeting (EGM). On arriving, I was concerned to find out that one of the directors had left the ongoing board meeting due to unnecessary intimidating tactics being adopted by the (only) other board member, Malvinder’s relative”.
Shivinder further said, “It appeared that Malvinder was trying to coerce some employees to video record statements under duress. Concerned for the well-being of the employees I entered the room to understand what was going on.”
“Angered on seeing him there”, he added, “Malvinder attempted to forcibly restrain me and pinned me to the wall choking me. I tried to push him away in self-defence.”
When contacted, Malvinder declined to comment.
