Yes Bank scam: CBI employee booked for theft

New Delhi, December 28

The CBI has registered a case against its own employee, posted at Mumbai’s Anti-Corruption Branch, on charges of forgery, theft and criminal conspiracy in a case linked to the Yes Bank scam, sources said.

The sources said CBI lower division clerk Sumeet Kumar placed a note in the Yes Bank case file, involving Rana Kapoor and his family, which read as “Shri Sameer Gehlaut and Rana Kapoor arrest is put up for kind perusal pls”. It is to be noted that the CBI had booked Kapoor on the charges of conspiracy, cheating and corruption in March 2020.

Sumeet Kumar took pictures of the note and the case file and shared it with Mohit Kumar of M/s Mohit Trading Company, a house-keeping agency working with Indiabulls, the sources said.

Gehlaut was the then promoter and MD of Indiabulls Housing Finance Ltd. The sources said more charges were slapped against the employee after he was found sharing with another person a blank paper with a stamp impression of the SP, Mumbai, which was reported to be missing. — TNS
