Stake of BR Shetty in NeoPharma

It was expected that BR Shetty would sell a significant percent of stake in NeoPharma to settle debts of his other companies like NMC Health.

It may be mentioned that he is reportedly holding 100 percent stake in NeoPharma.

Earlier, Shetty who is in India had made a statement that he would go to UAE to clear his name. However, after the court in India froze his assets in connection with his $250 mn exposure to Bank of Baroda, it is unlikely that he would visit the UAE soon.
