ED arrests Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor in DHFL case after 15 hours of questioning
India TodayThe Enforcement Directorate has arrested Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor in connection with a money-laundering probe against him and others. According to the officials, the central agency is also probing the Yes Bank founder's role in connection with the disbursal of loans to some corporate entities and the subsequent alleged kickbacks reportedly received in his wife's accounts. The ED action came after the Reserve Bank of India on Thursday imposed a moratorium on the capital-starved Yes Bank, capping withdrawals at Rs 50,000 per account, and superseded the board of the private sector lender with immediate effect. As per the RBI's draft reconstruction scheme, State Bank of India will pick up 49 per cent stake in the crisis-ridden Yes Bank under a government-approved bailout plan.
