The Mumbai Police's Economic Offenses Wing arrested two auditors last month in the Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank) scam. So far seven arrests have been made in this case. Five people, including the bank's top management and promoters of HDIL, were arrested earlier. At the time of the scam at PMC Bank, both auditors Jayesh Sanghani and Ketan Lakdawala were working as auditors and played an important role in hiding irregularities with some of the bank's top executives. The decade had been going on.
According to investigating officials, bank management, led by Joy Thomas, had opened thousands of fake accounts to fund construction company HDIL. The game went on for about 10 years. The regulator initially learned that Thomas and some of the management had together given Rs 4,226 crore (73 % of the bank's total debt) to only one company, HDIL, which went bankrupt.
