The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has secured a two-day police remand for Ribhav Rishi, a suspect in the alleged ₹590-crore fraud case involving IDFC First Bank. The CBI registered a new FIR under the Prevention of Corruption Act, following an earlier case by the Haryana state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau in Panchkula on February 23. The court had previously granted custody of six accused individuals, including Rishi, to the CBI. During interrogation, Rishi reportedly disclosed information regarding the establishment of shell companies and the illegal opening of bank accounts for Haryana government departments in IDFC First Bank. The CBI has detected over 200 high-value illegal transactions and is investigating procedural lapses, including the lack of approvals for opening government accounts and verifying forged documents.
