ICICI Bank to hold ‘independent’ probe into allegations against Kochhar

Private sector lender ICICI Bank today said it instituted an independent enquiry into the allegations levelled by anonymous whistle-blower against MD and CEO Chanda Kochhar.

Without detailing the allegations, the bank in a regulatory filing said the enquiry will be headed by an independent and credible person.

“The scope of enquiry would be comprehensive and include all relevant matters arising out of and in the course of examination of the facts and wherever warranted, use of forensics/e-mail reviews and recordal of statements of relevant personnel etc,” the filing said.

The allegations are related to ‘conflict of interest’ over a time and ‘quid pro quo’ in course of Kochhar’s work in dealing with certain borrowers.

The Election Commission had yesterday ordered repolling in the constituency in view of technical snags in EVM-VVPAT machines during the by-election on Monday.

Around 80,000 voters are registered in the booths where the repolling is on.

Opposition Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Lok Dal as well as the ruling BJP had raised claims of electronic voting machines (EVM) tampering at these booths.

The repolling began at 07.00 am and will continue till 5.00 pm in 23 polling stations at Nakur, 44 in Gangoh and one station at Thana Bhawan in Saharanpur and five in Shamli.

On Monday, 54 per cent polling was recorded in Kairana seat, which had fallen vacant following the death of BJP MP Hukum Singh, whose daughter Mriganka Singh is one of the candidates in the bypoll.

Mriganka is fighting Rashtriya Lok Dal’s Tabassum Hasan, who is also supported by the Congress, Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party.

The counting of votes will take place tomorrow.
