दरअसल, केंद्रीय जांच ब्यूरो (CBI) ने शुक्रवार को आईसीआईसीआई बैंक (ICICI Bank) की पूर्व सीईओ चंदा कोचर और उनके पति दीपक कोचर को बैंक फ्रॉड (ICICI Bank Fraud Case) मामले में गिरफ्तार कर लिया है. इसके बाद, ED ने साल 2020 में चंदा कोचर, दीपक कोचर और उनकी कंपनियों से संबंधित 78 करोड़ रुपये की संपत्ति कुर्क कर ली. गौरतलब है कि चंदा कोचर ने 26 अगस्त 2009 को वीडियोकॉन इंटरनेशनल इलेक्ट्रॉनिक्स को 300 करोड़ रुपये और 31 अक्टूबर 2011 को वीडियोकॉन इंडस्ट्रीज लिमिटेड को 750 करोड़ रुपये आईसीआईसीआई बैंक द्वारा देने की मंजूरी दी. इसके बाद, जनवरी 2019 में सुप्रीम कोर्ट की जांच पूरी हुई और चंदा कोचर दोषी पाई गईं. मामले के तूल पकड़ने के बाद आईसीआईसीआई बैंक ने विस्तृत जांचा का ऐलान किया और इस पूरे मामले की जांच सुप्रीम कोर्ट के रिटायर्ड जज बीएन श्रीकृष्णा को सौंपी गई. आइये जानते हैं कैसे 3 लोगों ने इस बड़े घोटाले को अंजाम दिया.

CBI now alleged, completing the web of transactions, Dhoot resigned from directorship of SEPL soon after and transferred the control of the company by transferring his shares to Pinnacle Energy Trust, which was managed by Deepak Kochhar. Videocon Group was the dominant player in the consumer durable industry but rapid diversification into unrelated sectors caused much damage to its financial fortunes that proved to be costly in later years. Meanwhile, Dhoot, a passionate cricket lover, made futile attempts to acquire the now defunct Pune team in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2010. Videocon Telecom had to formally shut shop in February 2017, after Reliance Jio disrupted the market with its affordable 4G data packs. But the loans sanctioned by the bank under Kochhar turned non-performing assets - at least Rs 1,730 crore of them. Riding on the new wave, Videocon had already picked up telecom spectrums for 17 circles and was gearing up to launch its telecom services. It is now alleged that Kochhar, husband of then MD and CEO of ICICI Bank Chanda Kochhar, was hand in glove with his wife and Dhoots in defrauding the bank by laundering money. One of its new entries - into the renewable power sector - is now under scanner. To further consolidate its market position, Dhoot went on to acquire some of the prominent brands of the era - Electrolux, Kelvinator and Kenstar - and ramped up production capacities by adding Philips India’s TV manufacturing facility. The CBI investigations now reveal how the seeds of failure were sowed in Dhoot’s heydays. But when India went on to unexpectedly champion the ODI World Cup in 1983 - raising demand for TV sets - it quickly ventured into the business - setting up a manufacturing plant in 1985. Its consumer durables business was at its peak - amid competition to the two Korean chaebols Samsung and LG.

A sanction to prosecute by a competent authority is required under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
