In a March meet in Mumbai on financial frauds, CBI director Anil Sinha had said, "The CBI has recently registered a case of cheating and fraud against Kingfisher and its erstwhile management." He said, "We had to register the case on our own initiative.".K. "The court could have asked the CBI, ‘Here are the allegations and the probe’s findings, but where are the complaints ’ In the absence of the complaints, the CBI was hoping to plug the gap by marshalling all evidence on record with the banks to supplement the probe’s findings," said the source. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had last July registered a case against the private firm and a few others, accusing them of defaulting on loans worth Rs 900 crore by public-sector bank IDBI.

The agency had registered the case on the basis of mere "source information", as the banks had not filed a complaint, despite constant reminders, said a CBI source. Last Saturday, based on the SBI complaint, the CBI registered a fresh case against the accused firm and a few others, accusing them of defaulting on loans worth Rs 6,027 crore taken during 2005-10 from the bank consortium, according to CBI spokesperson R.The Central Bureau of Investigation’s loan-default probe against the defunct Kingfisher Airlines Limited recently received a boost with the SBI-led bank consortium registering a formal complaint, thus plugging a key gap — lack of complainant’s testimony — in the case. "Now, with the receipt of the complaint from the SBI-led bank consortium, the CBI expects to build a much stronger case against the accused," the source said.

The defunct airline firm and the other accused in the case have so far denied the CBI’s allegations related to wrongdoing. Nine months later, in March this year, the CBI subsequently "expanded the probe despite there being no formal complaints from lender banks" against the firm, to examine allegations that it defaulted on loans worth around Rs 7,000 crore — including the Rs 900 crore credit from IDBI, said the source."Though the CBI had expanded the probe in March by scanning quarter inch jack to 3.5mm loan defaults worth Rs 7,000 crore, based on the July 2015 first information report (FIR) registered in the IDBI case, the probe was facing a stiff challenge — of building a watertight case in the absence of the victim’s complaint — for getting the court’s approval," said the source.

Actually, Appa, we paid money to do this. My parents were like, "They took `500 from you and made you walk "Amazon and Flipkart have made things worse. Now they know exactly what I spend and how often. But maybe there’s something in this after all."If my parents were here, they would agree completely.com."I always thought the husband was immune to such things but it is not so. I swipe frantically to find something more impressive, but the damage is done. Either that, or I’m just getting old. She blogs at www.My spending habits are a familiar topic for discussion.I had no option but to confess." The irony was not lost on me.It is a dull, rainy morning at the Dujiangyan Panda Base in Chengdu, China, and my husband and I are inside a large giant panda cage. "Sure, I’ll register for you. Soon, I am instructed to scoop up panda excreta into a metal bin using a long spade.

As a typical Indian, I don’t even clean my own house."You have to both run 42 km and pay thousand rupees "Put it that way, it did sound ridiculous. And we are the ones walking!"My husband explained that he also pays for his marathons, sometimes in four figures. I think I am pretty careful with my money, compared to my younger family and friends. I will forward you the photo on WhatsApp. When we are done with the cleaning, we will get a chance to feed the pandas some lunch as well.suchiswriting.""How much did the Chinese pay you for cleaning panda cages " my dad asks.""What You paid them Did they give you many gifts Free t-shirt ""I got a certificate with a panda picture on it." said the husband, "Let me just pay the `500 per head and ""500-aa ""Per person," my husband said unhelpfully.While we do the cleaning, Wu Wen, the usual occupant of this cage, is leaning back in the garden enclosure just outside, enjoying a leisurely breakfast-in-bed of bamboo."Why go to foreign countries to clean a zoo You could have done it in Mysore."But they are calling it a fun walk. When we return home, I proudly show the joint family my panda pictures. But she also looks slightly supercilious, as if to say, "Ha ha!

She stops mid-bite and turns to look at us standing in her cage.""Mysore zoo even has a white monkey now."Chee!" "Yuck!"I find our efficient Chinese guide has taken pictures that are too sharp and too detailed for this audience.

And some stickers. "Some box or the other will keep coming for Suchi", my parents say, "It will look like she has bought a big TV, but open the box and there will be just one small plug or pencil sharpener. She is utterly cute, of course. We both are in blue jumpsuits, purple raincoats and orange gloves, looking like background dancers from a ’80s Hindi song. My husband is sent to the other end of the cage, to scrub down a tiled wall. "Hmm.Everyone thinks the generations that follow theirs are careless with money. Last year, my parents told him they wanted to register for one of the walking events held alongside a popular Bengaluru run. "Why don’t you pay us china connector manufacturers and clean all the bathrooms We can also get certificate and stickers from our Xerox shop."They all look at me like I am insane, then burst out laughing. I stare at her lovingly (as one must when seeing a panda). One time, I went for a heritage walk down a three-km stretch of Bengaluru’s famous MG Road. Maybe I am paying for things that should be free.You see, having flown all the way from India for a holiday in China, we have volunteered to spend a morning cleaning out panda cages.
