Dr. Shetty Seeks Financial Security and Records from Bank of Baroda in NMC Case
Dr. Bavaguthu Raghuram Shetty, founder of NMC Healthcare and UAE Exchange, has filed two applications in the Bombay High Court seeking Bank of Baroda to secure financial security for his 15 billion damages claim and to preserve forensic evidence related to the case. He requests the bank to earmark the claim in its accounts and allow court-supervised forensic imaging of electronic records to prevent data alteration. The suit alleges the bank ignored anti-money laundering alerts and processed transactions linked to alleged fraud, while the bank has stated it will defend itself against the claims.
