    CBI court allows Kochhar couple, Venugopal Dhoot use special beds
    The Kochhar couple and Venugopal Dhoot were moved to the Santacruz lock-up of Mumbai Police from the CBI office in the BKC after interrogation

    A special court in Mumbai granted Videocon Group founder Venugopal Dhoot, former MD and CEO of ICICI Bank Chanda Kochhar, and her husband Deepak Kochhar, to use special mattresses and beds during the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) custody. The trio is moved to the Santacruz lock-up of Mumbai Police from the CBI office in the BKC after interrogation.

    • The agency also said loans were shown as non-performing assets during 2012, which resulted in a loss of approximately Rs. 1,730 crore to the lender.

    Kochhars claimed they were forced to sleep on floor

    After Venugopal Dhoot, Chanda, and Deepak Kochhar were sent to CBI custody until December 28; the Kochhars claimed they were forced to sleep on the floor during winter. All three accused demanded approval to use special beds, chairs, mattresses, towels, pillows, bed sheets, and blankets, citing medical reasons. The CBI had also revealed to the special court that their office doesn't have a lock-up.

    Home-cooked food, medicians allowed to Kochhars, Dhoot

    Just a day before, special court Judge A S Sayyad remanded the Kochhars and Dhoot in CBI custody until Wednesday and also allowed them to have medicines and home-cooked food. The accused have also been permitted to seek assistance from their lawyers for an hour in private each day until the probe is done.
