Amid the alleged FAME II scheme violation charges, the Delhi High Court has reportedly asked the Serious Fraud Investigation Office (SFIO) to continue its investigation against Hero Electric Vehicle.
As per ET’s report, the approval came yesterday (December 20), right after the court was informed that the settlement talks between Hero Electric and the Union Ministry of Heavy Industries failed. The government rejected the settlement proposal sent by the company.
