ICICI Bank-Videocon case: ED widens probe, summons Chanda Kochhar next week

Former ICICI Bank CEO Chanda Kochhar has been asked to depose before the ED next week as the agency has decided to expand its probe into the money laundering case involving the bank and Videocon group by questioning some more officials of the private lender, officials said Saturday.

They said Chanda Kochhar has been asked to depose before the agency on June 10 here after she sought an adjournment of the date scheduled for last Thursday.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) had last month questioned and recorded the statements of Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar over multiple sessions.

Official sources had told PTI early this week that the federal probe agency is now mulling to call some more bank officials to confront them with the statement made by Chanda Kochhar and obtain a clear picture of the deal.
