CBI Registers New Cases, Conducts Searches in Builder-Financial Institution Fraud Probe
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered five new cases and conducted searches at 12 locations across Bengaluru, Mumbai, and Pune, targeting an alleged nexus between real estate builders and financial institution officials. These actions follow Supreme Court directives prompted by homebuyers' complaints about fraudulent practices and fund diversion in the housing sector. The CBI has filed its 20th charge-sheet against Ajnara India Limited and named 15 bank officials in connection with the Noida-based "Ajnara Ambrosia" project. Investigations continue into 55 cases involving multiple builders and financial entities.
