In its chargesheet filed against Chanda Kochhar and eight others in April, the CBI has alleged that the accused “engineered a plan and design” in December 2008 to get loans sanctioned to “financially beleaguered” Videocon Group, after it was announced that she would be appointed as the MD and CEO of ICICI Bank.
The agency also claimed that while a flat in Churchgate, linked to the Videocon Group, was obtained by Kochhar and her husband and co-accused, Deepak Kochhar, for Rs 11 lakh in 2016, her son purchased a flat in the same building in November 2021 for Rs 19.11 crore.
A day before, a special Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court here on Wednesday took cognizance of a charge sheet filed against former ICICI Bank CEO and MD Chanda Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochar and Videocon founder Venugopal Dhoot in an alleged loan fraud.
After taking cognisance, special judge S P Naik Nimbalkar issued summons against all the accused, asking them to appear before the court on August 2.
