The CBI has filed a charge sheet against former Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL) CMD Kapil Wadhawan and 74 others in the Rs 34,000-crore bank fraud case. Officials gave this information on Saturday.
The CBI, in its chargesheet filed in the special CBI court here, has also named the then director Dheeraj Wadhawan and former CEO Harshil Mehta as accused in the big scam, officials said.
He said the agency had in June booked a consortium of 17 banks in the DHFL bank fraud case for allegedly defrauding them to the tune of Rs 34,000 crore. This is the country’s biggest banking loan fraud case. In the charge sheet, the agency has listed 18 individuals and 57 companies through which the money was transacted.
According to the information, one advocate Ajay Vazirani, businessman Ajay Navander, several chartered accountants, former officials of DHFL and other related companies have been named in the charge sheet. The CBI had registered the case against the Wadhawans and others on a complaint by Union Bank of India, which heads the consortium of 17 banks. Credit facilities worth Rs 42,871 crore were extended to DHFL between 2010 and 2018.
The chargesheet alleged that Kapil and Dheeraj Wadhawan along with others misrepresented facts in the criminal conspiracy. Facts were concealed and frauds were committed. The CBI has alleged that the company misappropriated public money.
