CBI raids bank of Baroda
Rs.6,172 cr #black money transferred to #Hongkong?
New Delhi: The #CBI on Saturday, 10th October 2015 conducted
raids at a north Delhi branch of the Bank of Baroda dealing with forex in
connection with "cash" deposits of Rs.6,172 crore which were later
"sent to Hong Kong".
The raids came a day after #Congress hit out at the #Narendra Modi
government in relation to the transactions at the Bank of Baroda branch, saying
they were in contravention of rules.
Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sources said the raid was
conducted at the #Ashok Vihar branch which deals with forex. Raids were also
conducted at some other locations but details were not immediately available.
The raids are still in progress.
Congress spokesperson # R.P.N. Singh had on Friday said that "black
money" amounting to Rs.6,172 crore had been sent out of the country to get
commodities such as pulses, rice and cashewnuts but it was not enquired if the
commodities were received or not.
Demanding an independent probe into the "scam", Singh had said
the money was deposited as advance in 59 accounts of the bank and three of the
Indian companies were not traceable on the addresses mentioned by them.
Singh said the government was aware of the "#scam" as the bank
had conducted an inquiry and asked why no FIR had been registered.
He had alleged that bank officials had the "patronage" of
finance ministry officials and asked the government to come clean on the issue.
"This government tells us that it had brought Rs.4,000 crore of
black money back. But in one-and-a-half years, Rs.6,172 crore has gone to Hong
Kong....Money is going out and that too without documents," Singh had
alleged.
