Mumbai Court Grants Bail to Amitabh Jhunjhunwala in Loan Fraud Case on Medical Grounds
A special CBI court in Mumbai granted bail on medical grounds to Amitabh Jhunjhunwala, former Reliance Communications Group MD and Reliance Capital vice-chairman, in a multi-crore loan fraud case. The bail decision referenced a Delhi High Court order recognizing his serious health issues, including spinal fractures and cardiac conditions. The CBI opposed bail, citing the severity of alleged financial fraud involving diversion of funds within the Reliance group. Jhunjhunwala's defense highlighted his age, health, and professional record while denying wrongdoing.
