Mumbai EOW to Summon All Accused in Lilavati Trust Probe, Including HDFC Bank CEO

Officials say the case spans five linked matters tied to alleged ₹1,300 crore irregularities at the hospital trust.

Overview

  • Economic Offences Wing officials told CNBC-TV18 they will issue summons to all accused, naming HDFC Bank MD & CEO Sashidhar Jagdishan among them.
  • Jagdishan is booked on charges including criminal breach of trust and cheating, with allegations he accepted ₹2.05 crore as a bribe, which the bank has denied.
  • Investigators say there are five related cases in the Lilavati matter, and Jagdishan is an accused in one of these cases.
  • Current trustees allege inflated procurement, forgery and inventory manipulation, and a forensic audit of 2004–2024 reports siphoning of roughly ₹1,250–₹1,300 crore.
  • Multiple FIRs since 2024 resumed after the Supreme Court lifted a stay in July 2025, and the EOW has been seizing records and preparing further summons as a ₹1,000 crore defamation suit against Jagdishan remains pending.
