The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated multiple probes into significant financial fraud involving Indian companies and banking institutions.

In early October, the CBI registered a case against Mumbai-based Hanjer Biotech Energies Private Limited following a complaint from Punjab National Bank. The investigation concerns an alleged 93.44 crore rupee fraud, where the company is accused of using related-party invoices to secure a 135 crore rupee loan and subsequently diverting those funds. 

Later in the month, the CBI filed a case against IL&FS Energy Development Company Limited and its directors regarding an alleged 212.34 crore rupee fraud involving Canara Bank. The investigation alleges a criminal conspiracy to secure loans from both the Mumbai and London branches of the then-Syndicate Bank, with funds reportedly diverted through associate companies. In both instances, the CBI has conducted raids to seize banking records, property documents, and other financial assets.
