A special CBI court has accused doctors of introducing new illnesses to extend the hospital stay of DHFL promoter Dheeraj Wadhawan, who is accused in the DHFL-Yes Bank loan fraud case. The court also noted that Wadhawan's family attempted to sneak a mobile phone into his hospital room. The CBI alleges that Yes Bank invested INR 4,727 crore ($633 million) in DHFL bonds in return for a kickback to then CEO Rana Kapoor.
On July 11, the special court allowed Wadhawan to take treatment in a private hospital but restrained him from staying beyond eight days. Last week, Wadhawan was operated upon in the hospital. However, his doctor, Dr Gokhale, approached the court for an extension of his hospitalisation for three to four more days
