Supreme Court Orders Expanded CBI Probe into Builder-Bank Subvention Scam
The Supreme Court has expanded the CBI's investigation into a builder-bank subvention scam, involving multiple banks and real estate firms across several states. The court directed banks including SBI, HDFC, ICICI, UCO, and Sammaan Capital to grant prosecution sanctions within two weeks for officials allegedly involved in the nexus. The Enforcement Directorate will also be involved, and additional police officers are to be deputed to support the probe. The CBI must submit a status report by the next hearing.
