Media Eye News Bureau: The CBI has apparently questioned former Punjab National Bank (PNB) Managing Director Usha Ananthasubramanian, who is currently Allahabad Bank CEO, and ICICI Bank Executive Director NS Kanan regarding the multi-crore bank fraud.
Ananthasubramanian was PNB Managing Director between 2015 and 2017, when the maximum Letters of Understanding were cleared by the bank, which were then allegedly withdrawn by Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi's groups as buyers' credit. She was questioned at the CBI's agency's Mumbai office. The agency has also questioned two PNB General Managers Nehal Ahad and Vimlesh Kumar, apart from two statutory auditors of the bank.
Kanan was questioned because ICICI Bank is among the 31 banks that lent money to Mehul Choksi's Gitanjali Group. However, CBI officials said that he is only being question for clarifications and not as an accused in the fraud case.
