The case in brief
Visible before detection
Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight
Avoidance transactions
A review of past payments would show the excess lease and contractor payments.
Can mislead when: Only the tribunal decides what counts as an avoidance transaction. Kubr flags candidates and never states a conclusion.
Ownership / related-party links
Mapping the lessors and contractors would show who benefited from the excess payments.
Can mislead when: Nominee directors and offshore layers hide links. Name matching throws up false positives, so every flag shows its evidence path.
Drawing power vs books
Lender drawing power checked against the books would show the strain on borrowing.
Can mislead when: CARO is annual, so the signal comes late. It covers only borrowers above the ₹5 crore limit.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
Same pattern
A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
