The investigators did not find any records to this effect.Reports said that the Advantage Strategic was the nodal company with shares in Vasan Eye Care and it investigating agencies are suspecting a transaction of Rs 200 crore between the two companies, which took place around the time when the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) had cleared the Aircel-Maxis merger.
