Here’s a summary of today’s development: The Lilavati Kirtilal Mehta Medical Trust, which runs Mumbai’s renowned Lilavati Hospital, has petitioned the Bombay High Court to direct a CBI investigation into alleged bribery involving HDFC Bank’s Managing Director & CEO, Sashidhar Jagdishan. The Trust contends Jagdishan accepted a ₹2.05 crore bribe to help one faction of trustees retain control and claims he qualifies as a public servant under the Prevention of Corruption Act—warranting a central probe . Following a magistrate’s order, a Bandra FIR was filed on May 31 accusing him of cheating and criminal breach of trust, but both benches of the High Court have since recused themselves, delaying proceedings . Meanwhile, Jagdishan has moved to quash the FIR, calling it malicious and retaliatory, tied to HDFC’s recovery actions against loans owed by entities linked to the Mehta family .
