CBI Secures Sanction to Prosecute Yes Bank Co-Founder Rana Kapoor

A special court will consider taking cognizance of the chargesheet on December 12.

Overview

  • The agency told the court it has obtained mandatory approval under the Prevention of Corruption Act to proceed against Kapoor.
  • The chargesheet filed last month names Anil Ambani, Bindu Kapoor, Radha Kapoor, Roshni Kapoor, Reliance Commercial Finance Ltd, and Reliance Home Finance Ltd (now Authum Investment and Infrastructure Limited) as accused.
  • Investigators say Yes Bank invested Rs 5,010 crore in ADA Group finance companies during 2017–2019, with Rs 3,337.5 crore turning non‑performing by December 2019 and a Rs 2,796.77 crore loss.
  • The CBI alleges the transactions were a quid‑pro‑quo linked to loans from RCFL and RHFL to companies connected to Kapoor's family.
  • Defence lawyers have sought inspection of the case records before the cognizance hearing, and Kapoor remains out on bail in multiple CBI and ED matters.
