DHFL's Dheeraj Wadhawan Arrested By CBI In Rs 34,000-Crore Bank Fraud Case

The Bombay High Court had regularised Mr Wadhawan's bail in a separate matter on May 2 and had extended his protection from CBI arrest for one week.

The CBI has arrested former DHFL Director Dheeraj Wadhawan in connection with the alleged defrauding of a 17-member lender bank consortium to the tune of Rs 34,000 crore, officials said Tuesday.

Mr Wadhawan, arrested from Mumbai on Monday night, was produced before a special court here which remanded him in judicial custody on Tuesday, they said.

The former director of DHFL and his brother, Kapil, were earlier arrested in the case on July 19, 2022, they said.
