In addition, he has been ordered to provide documents proving his legal ownership of Beeaar Investco Pte, a corporate entity linked to the case, Bloomberg reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The contempt ruling adds to the growing legal troubles surrounding the founder of Byju\u2019s, which has been facing multiple disputes and creditor actions across jurisdictions, including the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bloomberg noted that the case is part of broader proceedings involving lenders and investors seeking recovery of funds linked to a USD1.2 billion term loan raised by the company\u2019s international arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Raveendran has not publicly commented on the sentencing, and it is not immediately clear whether he is currently in Singapore, Bloomberg
