The economic offences wing of the Central Bureau of Investigation on Wednesday unearthed a major fake housing loan racket and arrested eight officials from various banks on graft charges.
The latest one involves officials at LIC Housing Finance, Bank of India and several other banks taking bribes for doling out multi-crore loans to real estate companies.
All eight executives arrested in India's bribes-for-loan investigation were ordered into judicial custody until December 16, a local court said on Friday, before it began hearing applications for bail.
On Monday, a special Indian court extended the custody of the eight arrested in a bribes-for-loans investigation until Friday.
The Central Bureau of Investigation arrested the executives from banks and financial institutions last month, including three from Money Matters Financial Services.
