New Delhi: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has issued lookout notices against former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar, her husband Deepak Kochhar and Videocon Group managing director Venugopal Dhoot, officials said in New Delhi Friday. The move was taken nearly a week after a case was registered against Chanda Kocchar, Deepak Kochhar and Dhoot, they said.
The move is to ensure that none of the accused in the case related to alleged corruption in clearing loans worth ₹1,875 crore to the Videocon Group were able to leave the country, the officials said. No summons have so far been issued against Chanda Kochhar to record her statement, the officials said.
A lookout notice is an intimation to immigration authorities at all the ports of exit to intimate the investigation agency in case the accused tries to leave the country.
