Lilavati Trust moves Bombay High Court for CBI probe against HDFC Bank CEO over ₹2 crore bribe

The Lilavati Trust, which runs a prominent hospital in Mumbai, has approached the Bombay High Court seeking a CBI probe into an alleged bribery case involving the CEO of HDFC Bank. The trust has made serious allegations that there was a demand for a bribe of Rs 2 crore. The trust has filed a petition requesting the High Court to direct the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation of the case. The involvement of a high-profile bank CEO and the serious nature of the allegations of corruption have made this a significant case. The Bombay High Court will now have to consider the petition and decide whether there are sufficient grounds to order a CBI probe, which is typically done in exceptional cases of national or public importance.
