Ramakrishna Electronics' bank fraud: ED grills Allu Aravind
Sources said that Aravind was grilled for over three hours, especially regarding his alleged links to Ramakrishna Electronics and Ramakrishna Telotronics, which are accused of securing massive loans from Union Bank of India in 2018-19. The two firms reportedly obtained Rs101 crore in loans, which they diverted for personal use and not for any legitimate business purposes.
During investigations, Aravind's name surfaced in several property transactions and financial dealings related to these companies. Following the initial round of questioning, ED officials issued fresh summons to Aravind directing him to appear before the agency next week.
The ED's Hyderabad zonal office conducted searches across Hyderabad, Kurnool, and Ghaziabad as part of its probe into the alleged diversion and misappropriation of loan funds.
They seized documents related to properties suspected to have been bought with the proceeds of crime, froze about Rs 1.45 crore in bank accounts of the accused and their companies, and recovered digital devices and records of foreign payments.
Siblings V Raghavendra and V Ravi Kumar are the key figures in the group and they allegedly misused the loans in connivance with others.

Mumbai businessman accused in bank fraud and money laundering case denied bail
Mumbai: Observing that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) collected sufficient material to prima facie conclude that the applicant was actively involved in the offence of money laundering, a special PMLA court on Friday rejected the bail plea of businessman Vijay Gupta. He is accused in a Rs 764.44 crore fraud involving the State Bank of India (SBI). Gupta, founder of the Vindhyavasini Group of Companies, which operates in steel manufacturing, real estate development, and infrastructure services, remains in judicial custody. The ED strongly opposed the bail, submitting that Gupta is a "habitual economic offender" actively involved in money laundering. Given the gravity and seriousness of the offences, the court concluded that Gupta is not entitled to bail. While the defence claimed that the accused was in jail for over 12 months, the court noted that he was arrested in the money laundering case only in March this year. The court said that the period of custody in the predicate offence cannot be considered since the offence under section PMLA is a different and distinct offence. The ED's case stems from six FIRs registered by the CBI and EOW, Mumbai, against six companies of the Vindhyavasini Group. It is submitted that these companies, promoted and managed by Gupta, are accused of defrauding the SBI's Eastern Express Highway Branch in Thane of approximately Rs 764.44 crores. According to the ED, the accused used 57 shell entities and 117 bank accounts for the placement, integration, and layering of the proceeds of crime. The ED detailed a systematic scheme of fraud, including the submission of fabricated and inflated Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs), Technical Economic Viability (TEV) reports, and highly inflated valuation reports of mortgaged properties to secure maximum loan sanctions from SBI. It was further alleged that the accused colluded with Vishwas Kadam, a then relationship manager for Medium Enterprises (RMME) at SBI, Thane branch, and loan consultant Vijay Patil, to process and approve loans based on these forged documents. The ED claims Gupta paid a bribe of Rs 59 lakh to Vishwas Kadam. It was further submitted that there was a diversion of approximately Rs 164 crore from cash credit limit accounts of group companies to Gupta's personal accounts and shell entities owned by him and his brothers, Ajay Gupta and Sanjay Gupta. These funds were allegedly routed multiple times for unauthorised purposes.

Allegations include the purchase of flats in Borivali and Kandivali using illicit funds, with one flat reportedly purchased in the name of his children's caretaker. It was also alleged that Gupta siphoned off a significant portion of Rs 13.20 crore received as compensation from NHAI for land acquisition, some of which was already mortgaged with SBI. Gupta's lawyer argued that he was falsely implicated and that the case was lodged with ulterior motives. It was also contended that the transactions are civil in nature, with recovery proceedings already initiated by SBI pending before civil courts. It was also submitted that sufficient collateral was provided to the bank, and the remaining dues of Rs 321 crores (out of a total loan of Rs 805 crores, with Rs 486 crores already recovered) could be covered by auctioning mortgaged properties, including the Solaris Building at Powai, valued at approximately Rs 400 crore in 2013. The defence highlighted Gupta's incarceration of over 12 months and the unlikelihood of a speedy trial given hundreds of witnesses and over fifty thousand pages of documentary evidence.

Meet Sanjay Bhandari: Declared fugitive economic offender under FEOA, who fled to UK in 2016
A special Delhi court on Saturday, while hearing a plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), declared data-vars-page-type="story" data-vars-link-type="Manual" data-vars-anchor-text="UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari">UK-based arms consultant Sanjay Bhandari a fugitive economic offender under the Fugitive Economic Offenders Act, 2018. In their plea, the ED accused Sanjay Bhandari of money laundering and stated that he 'absconded' to the United Kingdom in 2016 following several investigative agencies began scrutinising his activities. After this, ED filed a criminal case of money laundering against Bhandari and others in February 2017. The Delhi Court ruling comes at a time when a UK court had turned down India's plea seeking his extradition. An observation in the UK high court's decision stated, 'Bhandari would be at real risk of extortion, torture or violence in Tihar jail, from other prisoners or prison officials." In 2016, Bhandari "absconded" to the United Kingdom via Nepal and an Interpol red notice was issued against him in October 2017. The ED and other government agencies sent two extradition requests against the fugitive businessman and it were certified by the then UK home secretary Priti Patel in June 2020. Bhandari was arrested by British authorities on 15 July 2020, but was released on bail pending extradition proceedings. In 2022, a Westminster court subsequently ordered his extradition to India. Bhandari then challenged this ruling in High Court, and on 28 February 2025, the UK high court discharged him in the extradition request. The court on 4 April even rejected India's plea for his extradition. According to the ED and the Income Tax department, Bhandari had undisclosed foreign income worth ₹ 655 crore, on which he evaded tax worth ₹ 196 crore, reported Hindustan Times. Also, Bhandari has been under CBI probe since 2019 on charges of corruption in a ₹ 2,985-crore deal to procure 75 PC-7 trainer aircraft from Swiss plane maker Pilatus Aircraft. Between 2009 and 2016, Bhandari allegedly deposited huge amounts of money in bank accounts of overseas shell companies and also invested in properties in the UAE and the UK. The CBI also charged him with allegedly laundering money for properties reportedly linked to former Congress president Sonia Gandhi's son-in-law Robert Vadra in London. In this, NRI businessman C C Thampi was arrested by ED in January 2020.

Posing as sub-inspector, woman trained at Rajasthan Police Academy for 2 years
For nearly two years she participated in outdoor drills with trainee sub-inspectors on the campus of Rajasthan Police Academy (RPA) in Jaipur, posed with senior officers and posted photos in official uniform on social media, claiming to be a serving officer in the state police force. On Friday, the Rajasthan police finally arrested the woman, Mona Bugaliya (33), on charges of impersonating a police officer, forgery and cheating. Mona, who had been on the run since 2023 following a complaint by an RPA officer, was arrested from a rented accomodation in Sikar and brought to Jaipur for further questioning. According to police officers, Mona created fake documents to gain access to the premier training institute. She frequented the RPA campus from 2021 to 2023, claiming to be a trainee S-I and participating in outdoor activities and ceremonies, trying to blend in with new recruits and senior officers. She avoided indoor training sessions where attendance was recorded, said sources at the police academy. In September 2023, an RPA officer questioned Mona about her batch affiliation and she said she was an Intelligence Bureau (IB) recruit. The officer filed a complaint against her after not finding her name in the RPA records. This prompted an official inquiry. An FIR was registered against Mona on September 29, 2023, following which the Jaipur police raided her house in Nagaur district and recovered Rs 7 lakh and a police uniform from the premises. Mona, however, was absconding. Further investigation revealed that Mona had been preparing for the S-I recruitment exam for years and had sat for it multiple times without any success. In 2021, she posted false claims of being selected in the exam on social media to impress her relatives and friends. The police did not rule out the possibility of Mona using her fake profile to con many people between 2021 and 2023. More information will be revealed after questioning the accused, said the police.
