1.      In furlherance of the said criminal conspiracy during the month of April to June 2018, M/s Yes Bank Limited invested Rs 3700/- Cr. in the short term debentures of M/s DHFL. Simultaneously Sh. Kapil Wadhawan paid a kickback of Rs 600 Crores to Sh. Rana Kapoor and his family members in the garb of builder loan of Rs 600 Crores given by M/s DHFL (in which Sh.

2.      It has been further learnt that loan of Rs 600 Crores was sanctioned by M/s DHFL to M/s DOIT Urban Ventures (India) Private Limited on the basis of a modgage of a sub- standard property having very meager value and by considering its future conversion from agricultural land to the residential land.
3.      It has been learnt that M/s DHFL has not redeemed the amount of Rs 3700 Crores invested by M/s YES Bank in its debentures till date.
4.      It has been further learnt that in addition to the above M/s Yes Bank Lirnited also sanctioned a loan of Rs 750 Cr. to M/s RKW Developers Private Limited (Director Sh Dheeraj Rajesh Kumar Wadhawan) which is a DHFL group company for their Bandra Reclamation Project, Mumbai and the whole amount was siphoned off by Sh. Kapil Wadhawan since the entire amount was transferred by Mis RKW Developers Private Limited to M/s DHFL without making investment in Bandra Reclamation Project for which the loan was sanctioned.
5.      Thus, Sh' Rana Kapoor, Director of M/s Yes Bank Limited obtained undue pecuniary advantage from M/s DHFL in the matter of investment in the debentures of M/s DHFL by M/s yes Bank, through the companies herd by his wife and daughters. tt is also apprehended that Sh Rana Kapoor has similarly his official position in several other transactions and obtained illegal kickbacks directly or indirectly through entities controlled by him or his family members.
6.      M/s Yes Bank Limited is a private bank governed by Banking Regulations Act. As per the section 46-A of the Banking Regulations Act provides that fulltime chairs, Managing Directors and Directors of a banking company are to be considered public servants. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in its Judgement in the rnatter of Ramesh Gelli v. CBI has ruled that the office bearers of a private bank (u/s 46-A of the Banking Regulation Act) would be treated as public servants under section 2(c) of PC Act, 1988.
The aforementioned facts prima facie disclose the commission of cognizable offences u/s 120-B r/w 420 of rpc and section 7, 12 & 13(2) r/w 13(1)(d) of PC Act, 1988 against the aforementioned companies and individuals and entrusted to Sh.
