CBI books CBI books former Canara Bank chief for violating rules

The CBI on Friday filed a case against former executive director of the Central Bank of India, who retired as Chief Managing Director of Canara Bank, and others for allegedly sanctioning credit facilities of Rs 13.5 crore to the directors of a private transport company in Delhi.

The agency booked former Executive Director R.K. Dubey following the complaint of the Central Bank of India, along with G.K. Dhawan and his wife Janak Dhawan, both the directors of J.D. Transport Private limited.

"It was alleged that Dubey indulged in criminal conspiracy with the two directors of a Delhi-based private transport company and had allowed deviations in sanctioning credit facilities of Rs 13.5 crore in favour of their firm, which is violation of the laid down rules and regulations," a CBI officer said.

The officer said, "The firm turned defaulter in repayment of the loan of Rs 6.9 crore to the bank".

Separate CBI teams also conducted searches at the premises of Dubey in Delhi and recovered incriminating documents showing investment of Rs 2 crore in his name and that of his family members.
