The case was initiated on the basis of a writ petition filed by the bank through its Controller, Controlling Office, Region Sawai Madhopur, versus the State of Rajasthan.

A chargesheet was filed by the CBI on 08.04.2025 against the said accused and other bank officers/officials before the competent Hon’ble Court for offences under relevant sections of the IPC and the Prevention of Corruption Act. Further investigation was kept open against R.K. Meena and others.
