Singhs now own a majority of this firm. Godhwani consulted with Dhillon regularly on Religare, as would the Singhs on Fortis, the people said.In 2015, the younger brother, Shivinder, briefly took a hiatus from the business to work at the spiritual group full time.A photograph on the sects website shows Dhillon with a white beard, white turban and flowing white tunic.

However, clearly Religare's debt burden had gone out of hand, over-shooting revenue and profit growth. On February 16 last year, the Supreme Court had dismissed Singh brothers' appeal against the high court verdict upholding the international arbitral award, saying it was not inclined to interfere with it. Since debt remained unpaid and the value of the pledged shares dropped due to build-up of losses at Fortis and Religare, the lenders invoked hypothecation.
