As per the report, the three brothers set up a polymer business in 2021. The business terms were such that Hardik and Krunal infused 40 per cent capital each while Vibhav chipped in with 20 percent. However, Vibhav later set up another firm dealing in the same trade without informing the Pandya brothers, violating the terms.
