Former RBI deputy governor KC Chakrabarty a 'suspect' in Vijay Mallya case: report

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has alleged KC Chakrabarty, a former deputy governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI), is a “suspect” in two cases, The Economic Times reported.

One of the cases, in which Chakrabarty is a suspect, relates to the debt default by Vijay Mallya-founded Kingfisher Airlines, according to the report.

The investigation agency, according to the report, mentioned this during the arguments earlier this month in the special CBI court in Delhi that was hearing Chakrabarty’s petition for the revocation of a lookout circular (LOC). The circular stopped him from leaving the country in May.

The second case, where Chakrabarty is alleged to be a suspect, has been filed by Indian Overseas Bank against Airworth Travels & Tours, Delhi-based travel company, over accusations of forgery.

Chakrabarty, who’s become a UK resident, did not respond to the newspaper's queries emailed to him on Saturday. His advocate also declined to comment on the report.
