INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The HC bench rejected the bail applications filed by Rana Kapoor's wife and daughters.Mumbai: The Bombay High Court on Tuesday refused to
grant bail to Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor's wife and two daughters in a corruption and cheating case involving private sector lender Dewan
Housing Finance Corporation Ltd (DHFL).A single bench of Justice Bharati Dangre rejected the bail applications filed by Kapoor's wife Bindu
refused them bail while noting that they had, prima facie, caused a loss of Rs 4,000 crore to the Yes Bank through illegal acts.The lower
court had remanded them in 14-day judicial custody and said they did not deserve any sympathy for being women.The three are currently lodged
at the Byculla women's prison in Mumbai.In their bail pleas filed in the HC, they had said the special CBI court gravely erred in observing
that the accusations against them prima facie show complicity in having co-fraudulently and dishonestly received loans as quid pro quo for
favour shown by the Yes Bank to DHFL.The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had opposed their pleas and said there was nothing wrong with
the special court's order and that it was merely securing the presence of the accused for the purpose of trial.The CBI's case is that Rana
Kapoor, who is currently in jail in connection with a related case being probed by the Enforcement Directorate, had entered into a criminal
conspiracy with DHFL's Kapil Wadhawan.The CBI stated that between April and June 2018, Yes Bank invested Rs 3,700 crore in short-term
In return, DHFL allegedly paid a kickback of Rs 900 crore to Kapoor in the form of loans to one DoIT Urban Ventures, a firm controlled by
Kapoor's wife and daughters.(This story has not been edited by TheIndianSubcontinent staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)
