A special CBI court in Mumbai has sent businessman Avinash Bhosale to 14 days of judicial custody in the Yes Bank-DHFL scam case.

Meanwhile, builder Sanjay Chhabria who is lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road jail has been taken into custody by Enforcement Directorate. ED will seek his custody in CBI custody today.

Bhosale was arrested on May 26 by the central probe agency, which suspects illicit funds were routed through several real estate firms based in Maharashtra. The CBI produced him before special judge DP Singhade on May 27 and sought his custody for 10 days.

According to the CBI FIR, the scam started taking shape between April and June 2018, when Yes Bank invested Rs 3,700 crore in short-term debentures of DHFL. In return, Wadhawan allegedly "paid a kickback of Rs 600 crore" to Kapoor and his family members in the form of a loan to DoIT Urban Ventures (India) Pvt Ltd.
