Delhi Governor asks RBI to Probe co-operative bank scam

Delhi Lieutenant Governor has issued directions asking RBI, the Economic Offences Wing of the Delhi Police and the Anti-Corruption Branch to inquire into the allegations of “irregularities” in the Delhi Nagrik Sehkari Bank Ltd.

The directions were issued, a day before the budget session of the Delhi Assembly is set to begin. The House committees are likely to present their report on the year-long probe into the alleged scam at the budget session.

The statement added that the RBI “has been requested to inquire into the matter to ensure that there are no financial irregularities in the running of the bank… and corrective and preventive actions are taken.”
