CBI Names Six IAS Officers in IDFC Bank Fraud Case
The CBI is investigating an alleged Rs 504-crore fraud involving IDFC Bank and Haryana government bodies.
It has filed its third charge sheet, which is a document listing people it believes may have committed crimes.
Six IAS officers are included in this filing.
Three of them had already been arrested in connection with the case.
Other bank and government officials were also named.
The alleged offences include cheating, forgery, conspiracy and corruption-related crimes.
However, the CBI did not yet have the required prosecution permission for the IAS officers.
Because of this, the court cannot formally consider the case against those officers until the permission is obtained.
Altogether, 37 people have now been charge-sheeted.
The CBI filed its third charge sheet in the alleged Rs 504-crore IDFC Bank fraud case.
Six IAS officers, including three previously arrested, have been named in the charge sheet.
The charge sheet lacks prosecution sanction for the IAS officers, preventing the trial court from taking cognisance against them for now.
The latest filing names 13 additional officials from IDFC First Bank, AU Small Finance Bank and Haryana government departments.
The total number of people charge-sheeted in the case has risen to 37.
