Swamy moves SC for CBI probe against RBI officers

BJP leader and Rajya Sabha MP Subramanian Swamy has approached the SC seeking a CBI probe into alleged illegalities committed by officials of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) which, he claims, resulted in various banking/financial scams in India, the BarandBench reported on Wednesday. The scams have caused great prejudice to the economy of India and officials of RBI have been in demonstrable active connivance and in grave violations of their statutory duties, thereby failing to prevent the scams, Swamy and Advocate Satya Sabharwal alleged.

"In the last couple of years, banks have reported scams after scams wherein the role of bank officials were made out but surprisingly not even a single RBI official has been brought to justice despite RBI retaining the power to monitor, regulate, supervise, audit and direct the functioning of all banking companies in India," it submitted.
