Yes Bank’s former CEO Rana Kapoor says was forced to buy painting from Priyanka

The statement is part of a supplementary charge sheet filed by ED to the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court in Mumbai

Rana Kapoor , Yes Bank


Mumbai Yes Bank founder Rana Kapoor has claimed in a statement to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that he was pushed to buy a MF Husain painting from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, and that he was promised one of the country’s top civilian awards in return.

The statement, recorded by ED on March 9 and 10, 2020, added that the sale was facilitated by senior Congress leader Murli Deora — a fact that has been previously reported.

It adds that a few weeks later after the purchase, senior Congress leader, the late Ahmed Patel, had appreciated his “good deed” and informed him that he (Kapoor) would be “duly considered” for a major civilian honour, and “possibly some non-political banking and finance assignments”.

This statement is part of a supplementary charge sheet filed by ED to the special Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) court in Mumbai in April 2022. HT has reviewed a copy of it. To be sure, both Deora and Patel have passed on and there is no way of verifying Kapoor’s statement.

While authorities asked only those on the Western side to vacate, the fisherfolk protested by dumping fresh catch on the road. “If the sight and smell of us and the fish bothers them so much, let their vehicles run over the very thing that disgusts them,” said Neelavathi, a vendor who has been doing business on the road for over a decade. While most customers stayed away due to the chaos, the vendors were seen trying to sell the fish at whatever price was on offer. “As long as the catch is fresh, I get up to Rs 100 for half a kg but if it doesn’t sell today we will have to ...
