In addition, Yes Bank had also sanctioned a loan of Rs 750 Crore to one of the RKW Developers Group company beneficially owned by Kapil Wadhawan, Dheeraj Wadhawan and their family members for their Bandra Reclamation Project in Mumbai but the whole amount was siphoned off by Kapil Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawan through their shell companies and was never used for the declared purpose.

The FIR also alleges that Rana Kapoor, then MD and CEO of Yes Bank Limited, obtained illegal gratification in the form of a property in a prime location in New Delhi at much less than the realizable market value, belonging to Avantha Reality Ltd for sanction of a loan to the company.
