Mumbai/New Delhi, March 9 (TIWN) While the Enforcement Directorate kept grilling Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor in Mumbai, the central probe agency widened its probe and carried out searches at the residence of his three daughters.
The ED on Friday night raided Yes Bank's founder residence and also grilled him at his Samudra Mahal residence in Mumbai. ED officials said Kapoor was questioned throughout the night, with some rest time allowed in between.
A senior ED official connected with the probe told IANS: "Kapoor will be questioned about Yes Bank loans to Dewan Housing Finance Limited (DHFL)."
The official said during searches a lot of incriminating documents were found and the agency wanted to grill him on his links with DHFL promoters and other companies.
Kapoor's alleged role in the disbursal of loan to a corporate entity and kickbacks reportedly received in her wife's bank account are also under probe.
The ED had filed a money laundering case against Kapoor and raided his residence, apart from issuing a look-out circular so that he does not flee the country.
The ED registered a money laundering case against Kapoor as a continuation of its probe against the DHFL wherein it was allegedly that ₹12,500 crore was diverted to 80 shell companies using one lakh fake borrowers. The transactions with these shell companies are said to date back to 2015.
